Usually since sales tax rates change from period to period on whim to our lovely state of Washington, the best answer is to get a programmable Cash Register that allows you to input the tax rate (office stores are always good to ask). As things change, you need to reprogram it. Most common registers have a function like this, just for this purpose, good luck.
The Royal 115CX Electronic Cash Register does tax automatic for you.
The Sharp XE-A203 Cash Register has it but can be used without tax too.

NET SALES: Gross sales minus returns, discounts, and allowances. GROSS SALES: Total invoice value of sales, before deducting for customer discounts, allowances, or return.No. The sales tax is posted as a credit to the Sales Tax Payable Account.

cash basis
True. When companies pay the government the collected sales tax, they credit the "Sales Taxes Payable" account, which reduces the liability, and they debit the "Cash" account to reflect the outflow of cash. This transaction effectively transfers the sales tax liability to the government.
To calculate the sales tax, multiply the amount by the sales tax rate. In this case, the sales tax on $20.00 at a 10% rate would be $20.00 × 0.10 = $2.00. Therefore, the sales tax is $2.00.
If you are the "private" seller you do not collect sales tax. If your states requires sales tax to be paid on a private sell then the DMV will collect it when the buyer registers the car.

The sales tax of 2.99 with the sales tax itself being 5.5% ... is just 2.99 x 0.055 so if you calculate that it is 0.164. Add the tax with the amount and it becomes 3.15.
When you sell a product or when you buy something? Here's the answer for both situations: For a sale: Debit.......... cash or A/R Credit......... Revenue Credit......... Sales Tax payable. Then, when you pay the tax to the state: Debit........... Sales tax payable Credit.......... cash If it's a purchase, you don't have to record sales tax separately unless you want to. If you're capitalizing an asset, it's included in the capitalized amount. But if it's a straight expense, and you want to post the sales tax, this would be the entry: Debit........ expense account (say, for example, office expense) Debit........ sales tax Credit....... cash or A/P
You multiply the purchase price (without sales tax) by 13/100, that is, by 0.13.
