Why aren't all sales tax the same?
-
fanjacobs
If all purchases are subject to the same tax rate, the tax rate itself is flat with those who consume more paying more in taxes. While the tax on spending as a percentage of gross income may be regressive, the effective tax rates can be progressive on consumption due to exemptions or rebates.

Sales taxes are considered to be regressive tax; that is, low income people tend to spend a greater percentage of their income in taxable sales (using a cross section time-frame) than higher income people. However, this calculation is derived when the tax paid is divided not by the tax base (the amount spent) but by income, which is argued to create an arbitrary relationship.

If a sales tax is to be related to income, then the unspent income can be treated as tax-deferred (spending savings at a later point in time), at which time it is taxed. Sales taxes often exclude items or provide rebates in an effort to create progressive effects. In many locations, "necessary" items such as non-prepared food, clothing, or prescription drugs are exempt from sales tax to alleviate the burden on the poor.

Seller or Vendor Taxes, for example a gross receipts tax levied on all sales of a business. This produces so-called tax "cascading" or "pyramiding," in which an item is taxed more than once as it makes its way from production to final retail sale.

How can a company prepare for sales taxes?

Determination of ways to legally reduce the amount of tax due on a transaction. For instance, how a company structures its invoices can affect the taxability of the entire transaction. Each jurisdiction has different rules for applying sales tax. Some jurisdictions' laws are more advantageous to taxpayer for certain types of transactions. If a business operates in several jurisdictions, choosing the best one in which to take delivery can reduce or eliminate the sales tax liability.

Automatic deadline reminders help users avoid late payments. The record of past payments can be automatically imported into TurboTax at tax-filing time, which saves the trouble of typing that history in manually.
