It’s imposed on the consumption, use, or storage of goods in Idaho, if sales tax wasn’t paid on the purchase of the goods. Most Idaho sales tax exemptions also apply to use tax. The use tax rate and sales tax rates are the same. Use tax is paid directly to the state, instead of to the seller of the goods. Individuals can report use tax on their annual Idaho income tax return or submit it directly to the Tax Commission.
