While searching for more information in regards to what this means, I came accross many community web-sites discussing the implications of a business to business sales tax. My understanding of this is that a community would benefit in the collection of their local business sales tax being paid to the community the business resides in, so that the local government can use these resources for budgeting the economic needs of their local community, instead of the Business Taxes of the local businesses being allotted to the state, or some other government body, in which case the town would not have these funds to use in their budgets.

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.
