Michaels Excessive Use Tax Charges on Sales to Missouri Complaint

February 17, 2023

When retailers sell their products to Missouri customers remotely—that is, through the Internet, by telephone, or via catalog—and ship them to Missouri from an out-of-state facility, Missouri requires that the retailers charge customers a use tax of 4.225%. The complaint for this class action alleges that Michaels Stores, Inc. charges Missouri customers a significantly higher rate of tax on their purchases.
