Any items purchased that would be subject to sales tax if they were purchased in Wyoming are subject to use tax when purchased out of state and brought into Wyoming for storage, use or consumption.
Persons liable for paying use tax
Anyone who purchases goods out of state and does not pay sales tax, or has under paid sales tax, is required to pay use tax to the state.
Businesses and contractors
Use tax applies to business purchases or contractor purchases as well as to those made by private consumers.
Credit for payment of sales or use tax in another state
Wyoming allows an offset credit for sale tax paid to another state.
