Is it legal to cross state lines to one without sales tax just to buy an expensive item to avoid having to pay it? Like say a $1000-5000 item
If it is (and not a vehicle or something with specific laws), it seems like small purchases, like if traveling would technically need to be summed up also. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Use tax is a sales tax on purchases made outside one's state of residence for taxable items that will be used, stored or consumed in one's state of residence and on which no tax was collected in the state of purchase. If the purchase would have been taxed if it was made in the purchasers state of residence, then use tax is due.
