Consumer use tax is one of the most commonly miscalculated and unpaid tax found in audits. Use tax is the tax on the use of tangible personal property in which no sales tax has been paid. Use tax would be owed on taxable purchases where no sales tax is collected or where less tax than the applicable rate is collected. For the case of businesses, use tax must be paid when you withdraw goods from inventory for business use if no sales tax was paid on those items. #TaxTip: Since it is the responsibility of the business to determine when and if use tax must be collected and paid, use these steps to keep yourself on top of the use tax you may owe.

Did you know that when it comes to #CarDealerships, sales tax auditors tend to focus in on areas where dealerships' owners commonly misreport or attempt to reach more favorable tax outcomes? These areas include trade-ins and vehicle valuations. This is because a vehicle is property and buying and selling property gives rise to the need to account for capital gain and loss. Other areas that sales tax auditors are likely to explore include whether or not sales tax is included in the sale price, whether or not licensing/ title fees are in the sale price, warranties, financed vehicles interest income, and other post-sale incomes.
