Sales and Use Tax Identification

The video tutorial explains the concepts of sales and use taxes in the United States. Sales tax is a state-based tax collected by retailers from consumers at the point of sale, typically ranging from 5% to 8%. The collected tax is then remitted to the state government. Use tax, on the other hand, is applied when a consumer purchases a product in a state with lower sales tax and brings it back to their home state. The home state may charge a use tax to cover the difference in tax rates, discouraging consumers from shopping in states with lower taxes.
