Use Tax


This prevents so-called tax "cascading" or "pyramiding," in Use Tax which an feature is taxed more than once as it makes its hang-up from production to final retail sale. There are several types of sales taxes: Seller or Vendor Taxes, Consumer Excise Taxes, Retail Transaction Taxes, or Bearing Added Taxes.

  • A related type of tax is the value-added tax or VAT

  • It is a system in which all businesses remit taxes on their sales but they are also refunded the hunk of VAT remitted by their suppliers
  • In addition to avoiding cascading, under VAT there is no exigency for management to determine which sales are taxable and which are not, since all sales--retail, in quantity and intermediate--are taxed.
