Frequently Asked Questions

Provide documentation, including invoices and receipts, to support your calculation of consumer use tax. Documentation should be mailed to the address listed on your bill.

For example, you purchase nontaxable property such as food for home consumption. The remote retailer sends you a notification of the purchase and reports the total amount to the Department. (Remember, the remote retailer is prohibited from sending the Department an itemized breakdown of purchases.) If the Department sends a bill for consumer use tax on this nontaxable property, you should provide a copy of the invoice from the remote retailer so the Department can consider the documentation and adjust the bill, if applicable.
