Use tax in and of itself is perfectly understandable. Let's say I order all
of my copy paper from XYZ company out of state and XYZ doesn't have a
presence in the state I end up not paying sales tax that I would have paid
if I went to Office Depot down the street and bought it. Hence the Use tax.

I don't personally believe that the constitution's rule on interstate
commerce allows for use tax. However, the courts have ruled that use
tax is permitted under certain situations. One is that the use tax is
the same as the in-state tax (sales tax), the other is timeliness,
which is originally why California exempted aircraft from use tax if
they are kept out of state for 3 months.
