                                              What is Use Tax?
Use tax is imposed on the storage, use or consumption of tangible personal property in this state. The state use tax rate is 
4.225%. Cities and counties may impose an additional local use tax. The amount of use tax due on a transaction depends 
on the combined (local and state) use tax rate in effect at the Missouri location where the tangible personal property is 
stored, used or consumed. Local use taxes are distributed in the same manner as local sales taxes.
Unlike sales tax, which requires a sale at retail in Missouri, use tax is imposed directly upon the person that stores, uses, 
or consumes tangible personal property in Missouri. Use tax does not apply if the purchase is from a Missouri retailer and 
subject to Missouri sales tax. 

                                              Reporting Use Tax
Vendor’s Use Tax - Unlike sales tax, which requires a retail sale in Missouri, use tax is imposed directly upon the person 
that stores, uses, or consumes tangible personal property in Missouri. Out of state vendors that have nexus or a “direct  
connection” with Missouri and make sales of tangible personal property that is stored, used or consumed in Missouri are 
required to register to collect and remit use tax on their Missouri gross receipts. To register, a Missouri Tax Registration 
Application (Form 2643), should be completed and submitted or register online at http://dor.mo.gov/online.htm.
The Department sends preprinted returns to the business upon registration of vendor’s use tax. If you have misplaced your 
preprinted return, a Form 53-V can be downloaded and printed from our website at http://dor.mo.gov/forms or you may 
call our Forms Request Line at (800) 877-6881.
Consumer’s Use Tax - If a seller does not collect use tax from the purchaser, the purchaser is responsible for remitting 
the use tax to Missouri. The purchaser is required to file a use tax return if the cumulative purchases subject to use tax 
exceed two thousand dollars in a calendar year. A seller that is not engaged in business is not required to collect Missouri 
tax, but the purchaser is responsible for remitting use tax to on their purchase.
The purchaser must register with the Department by completing and submitting a Form 2643.
The Department sends preprinted returns to the business upon registration of consumer’s use tax. If you have misplaced 
your preprinted return, a Form 53-C can be downloaded and printed from our website at http://dor.mo.gov/forms or you 
may call our Forms Request Line at (800) 877-6881.

                                                  Zero Returns
Every business registered for use tax is required to file a return even if no sales or purchases were made during the  
period covered by the return.
You can submit your zero return by mail to Missouri Department of Revenue, Taxation Division, P.O. Box 840 Jefferson 
City, MO 65105-0840.  
A zero return can also be submitted online at http://dor.mo.gov/online.php. 
Failure to file a return for each period may result in estimated assessments, revocation of your license and lien(s) filed 
against your property.

                                              Amended Returns
A special form is not needed to file an amended return. A copy of the original form may be used or a blank return. Indicate 
amended by checking the box marked amended return and write the words “AMENDED RETURN” in bold on the top of the 
return. 
Negative use tax returns cannot be filed. When the credits allowed are greater than the tax collected, an amended return must 
be filed for the period in which the sales or purchases were originally filed.
Below are a few examples of when an amended return is required:
  •  The incorrect amounts were filed on the original return and you need to make corrections.
  •  You received an exemption certificate after the return was filed and need to adjust the original return.
  •  The wrong type of return was filed.  Originally reported as sales tax and should have been reported as use tax.

                                   Filing Frequency and Due Dates

Missouri Statute determines your proper filing frequency. Vendor’s use tax filing frequency is based on your Missouri use 
tax liability. 

The filing frequency is determined as follows:
Monthly (Over $500 a month), returns are due on or by the 20th of the following month, except on quarter ending months. 
For example, your monthly March return is due on or before April 30. 
Quarterly ($500 or less a month), returns are due on or before the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. 
For example, your return for the January through March period would be due on or before April 30.  
Annual (less than $100 a quarter), vendor’s use tax returns are due on or before January 31 of the next year.  

Annual Consumer’s Use  Individual and Business Consumer’s Use Tax Returns are due on or before April 15 of the 
following year.

Current year due dates can be found online here.

When the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or state of Missouri holiday, the return is due the next business  
day. Download a copy of our current tax year calendar by clicking on the word “here” or by entering http://dor.mo.gov/
taxcalendar in your web browser.

Detailed Instructions For Vendor’s Use Tax Return

C D E F G H I
Business Identification Area: Please use the return which has the Missouri Tax I.D. Number, owner’s name, business
A
name, mailing address, reporting period, and telephone number preprinted at the top of the return. Correct any wrong
information. If this information is not preprinted, enter the correct information in the spaces provided.
Address Correction: Check the box if you are correcting your mailing address. Enter the correct address in the
B
business identification area.
Business Location: Enter the location in which you make sales subject to vendor’s use tax. The first line must be for
C
sales to Missouri locations that have not imposed a local use tax and should be designated as State Only at a rate
of 4.225%. If you have a physical location in Missouri in which you make sales to Missouri purchasers, these sales
should not be reported as vendor’s use tax, but as sales tax.
If you receive a pre-printed form the first page of Form 53-V lists up to 13 locations, including the line designated as
either State Only or sales with No Local Use at a rate of 4.225%. If you have more than 13 locations into which you
make Missouri Sales, they will be listed on additional pages titled “Vendor’s Use Tax Return – Registered Locations.
If you make sales to a Missouri location not listed on your return, add them to the return. A Sales or Use Tax Bond may
be required for additional vendor’s use tax locations added to your account. DO NOT add locations that are taxed at
4.225 as they should all be reported as one location.
You can also add or close a business location by completing a Registration Change Request (Form 126), contact a
customer service representative at (573) 751-5860, or e-mail businesstaxregister@dor.mo.gov.
Code: This code is the combination of the city code, county code and a site code for each registered location in
D
which you make sales subject to vendor’s use tax. These codes are used for distribution of tax to the particular city,
county, or district. If you are filing a preprinted return furnished by the Department, the codes are already printed in this
column. If completing a non-preprinted return, enter the city, county and site code for each location you are reporting.
The city and county codes are located on the rate chart provided at http://dor.mo.gov/tax/business/sales/rates/.
Gross Receipts: Enter gross receipts from all sales of property shipped from out-of-state into Missouri that were made
E
during the period for each reporting location. If none, enter “0” (zero).
F Adjustments: Make authorized adjustments for each location for which you are reporting sales. Indicate the “+” or
“-“ for the total adjustment claimed. This column is used to report any adjustment to gross receipts that may be a
negative figure or a positive figure. A negative figure may be exempt sales. Positive adjustments are items that were
purchased exempt, but subsequently used by the seller.
Taxable Sales: Enter the amount of taxable sales for each reporting location. To determine this amount, use the
G following formula:
Gross receipts (+) or (-) Adjustments must equal taxable sales
Rate: The percentage rate indicated in this column represents the combined state, education, conservation, parks
H
and soils, and local option use tax for this “reporting location”. Tax rates include the applicable local use tax rate.
If you are filing a non-preprinted return or adding a location to a pre-printed return, enter the correct rate for the location.
Vendors are responsible for collecting the correct local tax (where applicable) based on where the Missouri
purchaser stores, uses or consumes the tangible personal property. If you do not know the correct tax rate, visit
http://dor.mo.gov/tax/business/sales/rates/ or contact the Department of Revenue, Taxation Division at (573) 751-2836.
Certain community improvement districts also impose a local use tax and can be found on our website. If reporting
Community Improvement Districts an address must be supplied to verify it is within the district.
