The Deeper Dig: Why the tax man cometh

Tax Commissioner Kaj Samson. Photo by Mike Dougherty/VTDiggerVTDigger reported last week that the Vermont Tax Department was sending about 20,000 letters notifying Vermonters that they may owe sales tax for online and out of state purchases.
The Tax Department has long encouraged Vermonters, in annual income tax filings, to voluntarily pay sales taxes on goods purchased outside the state, but has failed collect as much as officials believe residents owe.
