If you buy items from an out-of-state vendor that would be taxable in your home state, you're supposed to turn over the extortion money to your home state in the form of the Use Tax.
Lest any item in the universe go untaxed.
Well, if you live in Maine, you should have been seeing the commercials all year about the Use Tax that Maine has been putting on the TV.
IF we buy ANYTHING off of the Internet or in CATALOGS, we are to pay MAINE the USE TAX for this.
It's a bunch of Bull chit, and they better not try to come after me, that's all I got to say about this deal!
You live in Maine? You haven't seen those ads? They play them a LOT! Makes me want to puke!
