The use tax is the flip side of a sales tax and is meant to recover taxes that are not paid when you shop in another state (for example, if I am a PA resident and I buy a car in tax free DE, I owe use tax in PA). But when the state actually exempts sales tax for the day, you would not be subject to use tax in that state.

Unless the store is paying the sales tax you can be subject to state use taxes. Granted, you probably won't get caught, but keep in mind the state frequently does audits. This is of particular not if you are a small business owner! Beware of these! Unless the store is paying the sales tax you can be subject to state use taxes.
