What is the purpose of the Kentucky 51A113 form?
The Kentucky 51A113 form is used to report and pay the consumer’s use tax on purchases of tangible personal property, digital property, and extended warranty services that were not subject to Kentucky sales tax at the time of purchase.

Who needs to file the 51A113 form?
This form must be filed by individuals or firms that are liable for use tax but are not registered consumers or retailers. If you have made purchases of taxable items without paying the sales tax, you are required to complete this form and remit the appropriate tax amount to the Kentucky Department of Revenue.
When is the 51A113 form due?
The consumer’s use tax return is due 20 days after the end of the month in which the purchase was made. For example, if you made a purchase in January, the form must be submitted by February 20. It is important to adhere to this deadline to avoid penalties and interest on late payments.

To calculate the use tax, you will need to determine the total sale price of all applicable purchases, which you will enter on Line 1 of the form. The use tax rate is 6% of this total. You will then subtract any compensation you may be eligible for (calculated on Line 3) to find the total tax due on Line 4.
What happens if I file the 51A113 form late?
If you file the form after the due date, you will incur a penalty of 2% of the tax owed for each 30 days or fraction thereof that the return is late. The maximum penalty is capped at 20%. Additionally, interest will accrue on any unpaid tax amounts, which can further increase your total liability.
