Use Tax Proposal Aims to Curb Untaxed Purchases
Arkansas lawmaker Rep. Nebars Shaw of Poinsett proposes a 2 percent use tax to close loopholes in the state sales tax by taxing items bought outside Arkansas and used locally. The measure would apply to road and farm equipment purchased out of state and used in Arkansas, and to department and chain store sales by parcel post and mail. The plan cites Iowa precedent and Supreme Court support for use taxes.
