What is Sales Tax?

Sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services. It is typically calculated as a percentage of the purchase price and is added to the final cost that consumers pay.

Sales tax rates vary by location and can be different for different types of goods and services. Some items may be exempt from sales tax, while others may have special rates. Understanding sales tax helps consumers budget for purchases and businesses comply with tax regulations.
