Anyone who buys taxable goods and services that are stored, used or consumed in Texas from a seller who does not charge Texas sales tax owes Texas use tax.
So all you tax evaders must start filling your use tax forms. As of today you're 9 days late!
I've read that before. unenforceable laws are unenforceable and that one is stupid, to boot.
It is enforceable. Maybe not in the context here but I worked for a company that bout some things from out of state and was not charged tax. While undergoing a sales tax audit we had to pay use tax on those invoices.
There are approximately 14,971,000 Texans over the age of 18. How many of those you think bought something online last year and didn't pay Texas sales tax on the transaction? It would take a massive amount of manpower to audit every one of those Texans.
I hope nobody is promoting any law breaking.
Tyranny is identified by what is legal for government employees but illegal for the citizenry.
