(12,804 posts)and I get my W2 over the Internet and by snail mail.
Also my income tax is taken out of my paycheck each week I get paid.
That's what I mean by being easy.
I pay sales tax locally when I purchase my product, so it's easy to pay the sales tax.
There is no easy way to pay the user tax. That's why 99.9% of people don't pay it.
The only time I heard CT enforce this tax was with wealthy people buying expensive art in NYC. CT Revenue Dept was able to get the NYC art gallery to hand over its list of CT customers and the Rev Dept used it to send CT residents who purchased art from them a user tax bill. This was like 10 years ago.
If CT could easily enforce the user tax, like it does the sales tax, then they would. There are too many out of state businesses to contact for them to do this.
