Use Tax is a sales tax
that you as the
purchaser owe on
items that you buy
for your own use.
This would happen if
you purchase from
an out-of-state
business, catalog or
internet sales, or the
seller just didn’t
collect sales tax.
Use Tax must
be calculated
and paid to
your home
state if you
purchase
something
and tax was
not collected
by the seller.
Is your Use tax
Recoverable
or Non-
Recoverable?
