二、background
Sales tax is levied on the final customer of a product.Unless they are the final consumer of the product or service then a business that is registered for sales tax is essentially the collection agent for the relevant authority.
三、Brief introduction
Sales tax is charged on purchases(input tax)and sales(output tax).A business registered for sales tax will effectively pay over the sales tax it has added to its sales and recover the sales tax it has paid on its purchases.To this end the business incurs no sales tax expenses and earns no sales tax income.Therefore,sales tax is excluded from the reported sales and purchases of the business,and the sales tax is the national tax income instead of the business’s income.
Periodically(often every 3 months)the business calculates the total amount of sales tax is the difference between the output tax and the input tax.(Sales tax payable to authority=output tax–input tax)
Sales tax is charged on the selling price of the product.So when calculating of the sales tax,you will encounter with the“tax inclusive price’or“tax exclusive price”.
For example,if the tax inclusive price is$120,and the sales tax rate is 20%,the net selling price should be calculated as“$120/(1+20%)=$100”.

Settlement discount and sales tax
Settlement discount should be deducted in the calculating of sales tax only if the credit customer have take the advantage of the settlement discount.
六
Tax registered and non-tax registered company comparison
Tax registered company normally have the rights to make purchase input tax recoverable from sales output tax to pay net amount whereas non-tax registered company should transfer unrecoverable input tax into purchase or assets cost account since they’re not allowed to deduct input tax from output tax.
Finally,sales output tax is normally larger than input tax whereby there’s tax payable owing to tax office,however rare case does happen when input tax surpasses sales output tax,which the net result is called as tax refund to be waiting for the offset with next period sales output tax.
