Use Tax

Stacey Roberts and Connie Zoerink, from TaxOps’ SALTovation Team, wrap their mini-series on transaction taxes by discussing use tax. They explain how it differs from sales tax and its reporting and licensing requirements.

 


What You Will Discover:


  • [00:56] The difference between sales tax and use tax


  • [02:04] Reporting requirements for the purchaser


  • [04:08] Does shipping affect the tax rate


  • [07:11] Remediation options for noncompliance


  • [08:33] Licensing and reporting requirements

 


Quotables:


  • “This is a type of tax that maybe may not be top of mind for taxpayers out there, but definitely one that can maybe be a surprise unfortunately under audit where we tend to see that come in as a surprise, or inquires from the state.” - Stacey Roberts [00:19]


  • “A lot of times, the vendor will not charge tax. So if they did not charge tax on an item that’s actually taxable in your jurisdiction, then you need to accrue and self-remit the use tax to the jurisdiction.” - Connie Zoerink [01:29]

About the Podcast

SALTovation: Making Sense of State and Local Tax
Welcome to SALTovation. The SALTovation show is a podcast series featuring the leading voices in state and local tax (SALT). Here we talk about issues, strategies, and planning tools to help you make sense of SALT. Because, in SALT, there is no “one and done.” SALT is a puzzle of ever-changing pieces. Solving that puzzle is our business at SALTovation. Tens of thousands of listeners know they won't get tax talk as usual with the SALTovation team. Our team is known for straight-talk with a flair for fun, providing clarity and opinions that move businesses forward with confidence.

Attorney, CPA, speaker, and writer Judy Vorndran leads the SALTovation team as they go inside business to help deal with the daily operations and long-term strategies of making SALT less “taxing.” Judy has spent more than 25 years advocating for businesses with innovative strategies, renowned knowledge and experience. She has helped guide thousands of taxpayers across the nation and globally through the morass of SALT, freeing them to concentrate on growth. Joining Judy are the wickedly smart members of the SALTovation team, who have seen, worked with and tamed some of the most prickly issues in SALT. They enjoy sharing their stories and knowledge with listeners.

Solving the SALT puzzle doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it takes a community. So, we invite leaders in business and state and local tax to share their stories, challenges and successes on this show.
