- maxerickson 14y agoThe structure of the use tax in my state sort of encourages online purchasing. For purchases less than $1,000, there is an option to pay an income based lump sum (rather than itemizing the purchases and paying a calculated tax). Someone who doesn't care to keep track of the individual purchases saves a bit of tax by making sure they make sufficient purchases (for an AGI of $100,000, the savings kick in at ~$100 a month).
