when taxes are due early next year where would i even put it ? i buy A LOT from amazon because of the free shipping and no tax. would i add it all up ? or is it individual. sorry im a young guy.
but back to the main point. does anyone in any state pay tax on google apps ? i really dont think so and im not sure why the app store in the iOS would charge tax on an app
It's called Use tax. It is sales tax that you should have paid on a purchase but because the seller is not obligated to collect it (they don't have a physical presense in your state). Very few, if any, states enforce its collection from individuals. However, businesses are routinely audited. Businesses will file a sales and use tax return to report sales tax they collected as well as sales tax they were not charged (use tax).
Depending on your state, apps may or may not be subject to sales tax. In PA, they're considered canned software and are subject to tax.
Incidentally, Amazon just recently began charging sales tax to PA customers because they apparently have established distribution hubs in the state, thus establishing nexus. Sucks for me. Now I have up decide whether its worth driving to Delaware to avoid the tax.
Back to your question, though, don't bother paying the use tax to your state, they won't come after you. Apple has to charge tax on Apps because they have a physical presense in the state.
