If you buy or ship merchandise to your Tennessee address and sales tax is not added to the price, then you are responsible for paying the use tax to the Dept. of Revenue. For example, sales tax is not always added to purchases through the Internet, telephone, and mail order catalogs. Any active or inactive business registered for franchise and excise tax with the Department of Revenue and/or chartered with the Tennessee Secretary of State to do business in Tennessee must pay privilege taxes. Unclaimed property is intangible assets (cash, stocks, or bonds) that a company or other entity is holding that belongs to you that have become abandoned. Examples of unclaimed property may be a customer refund never claimed or a payroll check that was not cashed. Unclaimed property is not physical property.
