Use tax is also collected on the consumption, use or storage of goods in Missouri if sales tax was not paid on the purchase of the goods. Generally, the use tax rate is less than the corresponding sales tax rate in that jurisdiction. To confirm the use tax rate in your area you should check the Missouri Department of Revenue’s website (see link below). For monthly filers, each month has a different day on which the return is due.
