Sales tax is deductible as an itemized deduction (Schedule A), however you can deduct EITHER: -Sales Tax Paid -State income taxes paid Obviously you would want to deduct whichever is higher. This deduction can be very beneficial to people living in states that do not have an income tax, such as Florida.

Is Nebraska sales tax deductible for small business owners?

If you charge tax on the products/services you sell, the customer pays the sales tax and the business passes the tax onto the state/municipality. If the business buys supplies for use in the business (and not for resale) you will pay sales tax and the entire cost of the supplies will be deductible to the business. If you buy the same supplies from out of state and do not pay Nebraska sales tax, you should pay Nebraska use tax and that amount is also deductible to the business. If the business buys supplies that go into making a product for resale, you should not pay sales tax on the purchase of those supplies.
