Douglas County, Mo., voters deciding "use tax" on November ballot [View all]

PRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - In Douglas County a ‘use tax’ is up for a vote.

According to the ballot language, a ‘yes’ vote will allow the county to collect sales tax already collected on online purchases from the state.

“Every state has a use tax provision in addition to a sales tax provision and every state has for well over a hundred years,” said professor David Gamage with the University of Missouri.

We asked him to explain what a ‘use tax’ is.
