Best Answer

The cost of equipment includes the purchase price plus any sales tax (less any discounts received from the seller), transportation costs paid by the buyer to transport the asset to the location in which it will be used, expenditures for installation, testing, legal fees to establish title, and any other costs of bringing the asset to its condition and location for use. To the extent that these costs can be identified and measured, they should be included in the asset's initial valuation rather than expensed currently.

Why do I need to pay tax on inventory that was already paid?

This really needs a little more information in order to answer this question. Are you talking about sales tax, income taxes, property taxes, etc. For instance, if you are talking about property taxes, you probably didn't pay taxes on t when you bought it or at least you didn't pay property taxes. With sales taxes, you may have paid sales tax on the inventory when you bought it but that's not the way you are supposed to do sales tax. What a business does when they buy items they plan to resale, is that they will not pay sales tax when they purchase the items but will collect sales tax when it is sold to the end user, thereby calculating tax based on the higher value being the retail sales price instead of the wholesale price.

Is sales tax deducted from your paycheck?

Many taxes are deducted from your paycheck, but sales tax is not one of them. Sales taxes are collected by a merchant at the point of purchase of most goods and some services. The merchant remits the sales taxes to the state on your behalf. Occasionally, you many not pay sales taxes at the time of purchase, as in when you make a purchase online from a merchant in another state. In those cases, you would owe a use tax to your state which is usually paid when filling out your annual state income tax return.
