Yes, use you phone book to locate your local field or service office responsible for sales tax (See Below). Bring a copy of the invoice you owe tax on and present it to them so they can provide you with any necessary forms you may be required to file and a calculation of any tax due. Make sure and save a receipt that shows the tax was paid.

If you prefer or can not locate a field office, find the respective website for the responsible authority, find the "forms" section under sales & use tax and locate the "Occasional Use Tax Form". Follow the form instructions and return it to them with payment. Make sure and copy the form and payment for your records.

Locating the State Authority Responsible for Sales TaxDepending on the state you live in, sales tax is collected by one of the following authorities:
  • Comptroller of Public Accounts
  • Comptroller of the Treasury
  • Department of Revenue

Is sales tax deducted from your paycheck?

Many taxes are deducted from your paycheck, but sales tax is not one of them. Sales taxes are collected by a merchant at the point of purchase of most goods and some services. The merchant remits the sales taxes to the state on your behalf. Occasionally, you many not pay sales taxes at the time of purchase, as in when you make a purchase online from a merchant in another state. In those cases, you would owe a use tax to your state which is usually paid when filling out your annual state income tax return.


Does the owner or employees of a retail business have to pay sales tax if they purchase goods from the vendor for themselves?

A purchase is exempt (excused) from sales tax if the item/s will be re-sold. If a purchase is made for consumption (for personal use) sales tax needs to be paid.


When do you not pay sales tax?

Some states don't have a sales tax. Also, certain convenience stores, rest stops, and regular food stores don't always have a sales tax. As a general rule, whether you owe a sales tax will depend upon where you purchase an item at retail plus where you are a resident. If you pay tax in one state then it can be used as a credit for the use tax in your state of residence, if you take the merchandise back with you or have it delivered to your residence. Just because a retailer doesn't collect sales taxes at the same high rate as your home state does not provide you with any exemption from owing the use tax of your resident state. You do not pay a sales tax if the item is non-taxable or if your purchase is exempt, e.g., purchase for resale, purchase by a tax-exempt organization, etc.
