Understanding VAT
VAT and GST are systems that require businesses to charge tax on sales, unless an exemption or other relief applies, whilst allowing for the recovery of the VAT/GST paid on purchases related to those taxable sales.
Sales tax and use tax
Sales Tax is similar to VAT/GST in that it is also charged on supplies of goods and services, but it is a consumption-based tax, charged on the sale to the end consumer rather than throughout the supply chain.
