No. The sales tax is posted as a credit to the Sales Tax Payable Account. So, if you had a $100 sale plus $5 sales tax, you would debit cash $105, credit Sales $100 and credit Sales Tax Payable $5

Sales taxes are a collection you make for the State. It is funds entrusted to you by the State to be paid over to them. They are not part of your sales or receipts.

(Gross income will be sales less cost of sales. This is before selling, general, administrative, interest and tax expenses are taken out.)

The result is your net receipts without tax. $1000.00 . Then $1050.00 -$1000.00 = $50.00 the sales tax
