I received a letter yesterday from the State Dept. of Revenue.
It starts off stating:
"To ensure every individual and business taxpayer pays his or her fair share of use tax, thereby keeping the tax burden reasonable for everyone, the Department of Revenue regularly evaluates use tax filings. Our records indicate your company has not reported or remitted use tax in the past three years. Please review the following and enclosed information, and then evaluate your purchase invoices for the current year and the previous three years to determine if you have a use tax liability. There is a lot more but I have been in business for 18 years and never got a letter like this before, nor do I file a use tax or do I --- I do file State taxes.
They supplied a list of tangible property that is subject to use tax like Computers, Furniture, Office Equipment, Administrative Supplies Printed Matter, Cleaning supplies etc.
As well as Services such as lawn care, cleaning, pest control to name a few.
Am I the only one who is baffled by this?
Are they telling me I owe yet another Tax? Heck just let me sign my check over to the government. I am all for paying my "fair share" but this isn't this a little crazy!?!
