Sales Tax

[Larry J. Messerly]

Another tricky thing in some states is what is called in Arizona a Use
Tax.  It is a tax on products bought out of state that would be taxed in
Arizona.  I think it is primarily used for those who try to avoid sales
tax on big ticket items such as cars, boats, etc.  Technically it applies
to any purchase, including our parts used for repair.  (Why should screws
from a supply house not be taxed when if we bought the same screws
locally they would be taxed.)
