It is for purchases of consumer goods for use in your home state that have not already been taxed by your state. So, for instance, if you buy from amazon and its shipped from out of state, you must figure the tax yourself.


22 states have them. There would be a line on the tax form if your state has one.

 

[Oddball]

I do.

Fuck off, you commie vultures.....Come and get me.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

I do.

Fuck off, you commie vultures.....Come and get me.

You do what - cheat on your state taxes?

 

[Oddball]

No, I avoid taxation, not evade it.

There's a difference.

Now, come and get me, you commie fuck.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

No, I avoid taxation, not evade it.

There's a difference.

Now, come and get me, you commie fuck.

So you won't pay the use tax even if you owe it? Or do you just not buy anything online or through mail order that doesn't ship from your home state?

So you're not a law abiding citizen.

Its OK if we restrict your gun rights then, right? Since you aren't law abiding.

 

[Oddball]

Come and get me, commie fuckchop!

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

As I said - Oddball is NOT a law abiding citizen.

If there is no brick and mortar building that I can get to in my state, yet I HAVE to go to another state (via Amazon) to purchase what I need, why in the heck should I have to pay sales tax on something that I couldn't or didn't buy in my state?
I know you call it a 'use' tax, but it's called sales tax on my invoice.
Also, why should business outside my state be burdened with collecting a sales tax for my state?

True story>> Years ago I purchased something @ Costco in TN and paid 8% sales tax on the item.
After I returned home I found the item was defective and brought it back to my local Costco. Did my local Costco refund me the 8% sales tax?
No.

If the law says you owe it then you owe it.

I call it a "use tax" because that is what it is called.

Also, why should business outside my state be burdened with collecting a sales tax for my state?

They aren't. You're the one burdened with reporting it. Are you paying any attention at all?

They don't need to send it to you, I've given you the link.

No.

When I worked the return desk at Kmart in my youth, I had that happen once. The person was pissed. I hope you were nicer and realized it was not the cashiers fault.

Which didn't answer my question, but OK.

I know you call it a 'use' tax, but it's called sales tax on my invoice.

Look to the bolded.
I already pay it.

Also, why should business outside my state be burdened with collecting a sales tax for my state?

They aren't. You're the one burdened with reporting it. Are you paying any attention at all?

Currently, there are 19 full member states and 3 associate member states that belong to the Streamlined Sales Tax Project (SSTP). The SSTP assists states in collection of sales and use tax by registering merchants who charge out-of-state consumers the appropriate state sales tax and remit the tax to the appropriate state through a certified service provider.

Am I paying attention? Are you?
