1. What is Sales tax?

Sales tax applies to the sale, rental, lease, or license to use certain property or goods (tangible personal property) and certain services in a state, unless the transaction is specifically exempt. The sales tax is added to the price of the taxable goods or services and collected from the purchaser at the time of sale.
For example, sales tax is added as a separate item to the price of:
- Retail goods (new and used).
- Prepared foods and meals.
- Admission to games, sports events,performances, and amusement parks.
- Rent or lease of commercial property.
- Transient (six months or less) rental of living or sleeping accommodations such as hotel and motel rooms, condominium units, campground sites, and trailer or RV park accommodations.
- Services such as detective or burglary services, nonresidential cleaning, and nonresidential pest control.

2. What is Use tax?

  Use tax complements and is applied in the same manner as sales tax. The use tax rate and sales tax rate are the same, including discretionary sales surtax (county tax), if applicable. Use tax also applies when you purchase items for resale without paying tax to your supplier and then use the item in your business or for a taxable purpose.
  If you buy taxable items or services through the Internet or a mail-order catalog company, or you make purchases in another state that are shipped to another state, you will probably owe use tax. Use tax is owed if you did not pay sales tax when you bought the item, or if the sales tax you paid to another state was less than what you would have paid in one state. Some items commonly purchased from out-of-state retailers that are subject to use tax are: office supplies, business furniture, and computer softwareand hardware. Items that are specifically exempt from sales tax are also exempt from use tax.
  Use tax is also due when you buy an item tax-exempt for resale purposes and then use the item in your business or for some other taxable use. For example, an office supply store buys a box of cash register tapes tax-exempt for resale. Later, an employee takes a tape off the shelf and uses it in the store's register. Use tax is due on the store's cost of the tape. If you remove taxable inventory items for personal use, you will also owe use tax. For example, the owner of a clothing store takes a shirt from inventory for personal use. Because the shirt was initially purchased tax-exempt, use tax is due on the cost of the shirt.

4. What is County tax?

The County tax or discretionary sales surtax is a county-imposed general sales tax. Sales tax dealers collect discretionary sales surtax along with state sales tax and send both taxes to the Department. The Department then returns the discretionary sales surtax collected to the county for use in funding local programs. The amount of money distributed back to a county is based upon collections reported and remitted by sales and use tax dealers as well as the specific information reported on the back of their returns. Therefore, it is very important that you accurately collect, record, and report this surtax.
