response to TNGG:  The Use tax law has been in effect a long
time. You are required by law to file a Use Tax return with the
state when you purchase goods shipped to Tennessee that do not
have tax charged on them. Like Haslam says this is not a new
tax, just an attempt to collect it from people who do not pay it
now because it is not a forced collection. How any educated
person can not understand that is beyond me.  You are exactly
correct, and I believe this is Haslam's point also. Anybody that
declares that this is a "new tax" apparently hasn't been paying
their use tax, and they should be investigated for that
violation.
