Sales tax is different depending on the state you live in. For instance its 6% in WV, 7% in PA, etc. It's not automatically added, the business has to have the computer automatically calculate the tax for the business then pay the government that tax when tax season happens.
When a business collects Sales Tax, it owes it to the Sales tax collecting authority. Sales tax that has been collected but not paid to the Sales Tax collecting authority should be carried on the books as a liability.
The State that they do business in
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.
Whether you need to collect sales tax depends on where you and your customer is located. If your customers are in the same state as the physical location of your business, they owe sales tax on items. If you are shipping merchandise to a state where your business does not have a location, you will not need to collect sales tax.
Items that a business buys with the intention of reselling them are exempt from sales taxes. However, the business has to charge sales tax when it does resell that item.
