Is the tax paid on a shipping container considered deductible as a major purchase?

[LindaS5247]

No it is not.

Major items purchased while living in your state would include:

• A motorized vehicle (car, truck, RV, motorcycle, etc.—sorry, no mopeds).
• An aircraft, boat, mobile home, or manufactured home, but only if you paid the general sales tax rate (otherwise it doesn't apply).
• Building materials for a major renovation or substantial addition to a home, if you paid the general sales tax rate yourself or your contractor was authorized to purchase these materials per your instructions or building contract.
