In my little corner of the US, Ct that is, we have what they call a "use" tax.How They came up with that term I'll never know.
But the way it works is. If i buy somthing by mail from another state lets Virginia of somthing, and they do not charge me the appropiate Ct sales tax. I have to report it on my state income tax return and pay the state 6 1/2 percent of the purchace price. Isnt that special? It's wonderful how or elected reprisetitives are always coming up with new and clever ways to milk us.
Oh that reminds me I better make sure I report that tshirt I bought from cafe press.
