Sales Tax

A tax collected on the sale of goods or services.

Tips

If the owner of a business is required to have a sales tax permit, then sales tax is charged in some states on the sale of the hard assets of the business at closing based on the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to these hard assets, such as furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
