Who needs use tax voluntary compliance?

1. Individuals making out-of-state purchases: Use tax voluntary compliance is necessary for individuals who make purchases from out-of-state sellers or online retailers that do not collect sales tax. If you have made taxable purchases without paying sales tax, you may be liable to report and pay use tax on those purchases.
2. Businesses purchasing from out-of-state vendors: Businesses that purchase goods or services from out-of-state vendors are also required to comply with use tax obligations. If your business has made taxable purchases without sales tax being collected, you need to report and pay use tax on those purchases.
3. Taxpayers who want to proactively comply: Some individuals and businesses may choose to voluntarily comply with use tax requirements even if they have not been specifically targeted for audit or examination by tax authorities. By voluntarily reporting and paying use tax, these taxpayers ensure compliance with tax laws and avoid potential penalties or interest in the future.
