Voters in Forsyth will have a chance to decide on an issue that has faced other voters over the last several years.
The city is asking voters to allow them to collect a use tax on online purchases made by Forsyth residents from companies out of state. Several communities have considered this issue with several having passed it but others, including Forsyth several years ago, not passing it.
Forsyth Mayor Missi Hesketh, during and interview on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program, emphasized that this tax is not an additional tax for people making purchase at locations in Forsyth, but strictly for the internet sales in which Missouri is already collecting their sales tax from. Hesketh added that the percentage charged on the internet purchases is the same in the city which is 2.25%,
