Credit cards are treated as cash sales because the merchant receives immediate payment from the credit card issuer, similar to cash transactions. Once a customer completes a credit card purchase, the funds are quickly transferred, ensuring the seller doesn't face the risk of non-payment. This immediacy helps businesses manage their cash flow effectively, making credit card transactions comparable to cash sales. Additionally, it simplifies accounting processes, as merchants can record these sales as completed transactions right away.
