FAQ's

Who pays sales tax?

The consumer is responsible for paying sales tax at the point of purchase. However, businesses collect the tax on behalf of the government and remit it to the appropriate tax authorities.

How is sales tax calculated?

Sales tax is generally calculated as a percentage of the sale price of an item or service. For example, if the sales tax rate is 7% and the item costs $100, the sales tax would be $7, bringing the total cost to $107.

Do I have to pay sales tax on all purchases?

No, some items may be exempt from sales tax depending on the jurisdiction. Common exemptions include groceries, prescription medications, and certain services.

What is the sales tax rate?

The sales tax rate varies depending on the country, state, or locality. In the United States, for example, each state sets its own rate, and some cities or counties may impose additional taxes.

Can I get a sales tax refund?

In some cases, consumers may be eligible for a sales tax refund if they overpaid, made an exempt purchase, or returned an item. Businesses may also request refunds if they paid tax in error.
