Sales tax is paid by the customer, not the business. I ... don't know why you think it's automatically deducted by the business? Unless you mean B2B purchases
Do you, a person buying your whatever the fuck, then later sending a separate transfer to the government with sales tax? Or, if you're paying cash, do you later set your sales tax for that purchase aside and send it to the government in a separate envelope?
The merchat is the fiduciary agent, sure, but the customer still has to pay the tax. It's out of their own pocket. You're needlessly complicating it.
I'm dumbing it down if anything.
