The short answer is yes. Any item you purchase for personal use is subject to “use tax” if no sales excise is charged. Use tax is a charge that you report and pay yourself. If the item be purchased to resell to someone else then no use toll is due.Most individuals do not pay use levy because the gov’t has no route to track that you rec’d the merchandise, but technically you are still responsible for payment. When merchandise is shipped within from out of the country, the gov’t has a vehicle of tracking that merchandise and will come looking for the use tax due. All states that charge use toll are virtually the same.A business is easier to track use duty due than an individual because a business will list that merchandise as an asset and depreciate it. When the state comes to audit, they will ask to see a almanac of all unsullied assets and ask to see the invoice. If no sales due was rewarded they will check to see if use tax be paid. If not, you’re nail.
