St. Louis County Proposition U
St. Louis County, Missouri
My vote power: High
What does this measure do?
Opposes: Cost of Living Reduction
St. Louis County would add a local tax on goods bought from out-of-state sellers for use in the county when sales tax was not paid. This includes many online, mail-order, and cross-border purchases. The local rate would equal the county’s total local sales-tax rate and would rise or fall when voters change that sales-tax rate.
A YES vote means
The county would begin charging the local use tax at the same rate as its local sales taxes.
A NO vote means
The county would not add this local tax. Existing state use-tax rules would remain.
