A little known or much ignored fact is that if there is a sales tax in your
state you are required to pay a "use tax" on any purchases for which you
didn't pay sales tax because it was sent from out of state.

Depends on your state. In NYS, "Use Tax" refers to items you purchase
for business use (hence the term) and do not pay tax on. For my
business, this would include lumber, finishes, tools, etc. Sales tax
is subject to agreements between your home state and the state you
purchase from. Most states don't seem to have reciprocal sales tax
agreements with NYS, since most things I buy online and mailorder
aren't taxed. It is up to the vendor to collect and pay the sales
tax, not the purchaser to voluntarily pay it.
