I have no clue. I have never heard of a tax like that here in Tenn. Our Children live in Virgina and are in the Military. They keep Tennessee as their legal residence so that they do not have to pay state and other weird taxes that Virgina have. They do not have to pay anything to Tenn.

Technically you do owe use tax if you live in TN and buy something in a state with a lower tax rate. Use tax is the difference in the rate you paid and TN's tax rate. If you buy something online and pay no sales tax, it's the same deal. But this is virtually unenforceable on the individual. Thousands of people cross the state line into KY because they have no sales tax on food. Businesses are subject to a sales tax audit, so they have to be careful about paying use taxes, but TN doesn't currently have the resources to audit individuals. If you buy something big outside TN (furniture, car, etc.) and have it shipped to TN, the shipping company will make sure you've paid the use tax before they will ship it.
