Sales tax is charged only once for a retail good, not for the sales of wholesale goods that led to the retail sale. Otherwise the store that sold you a thing would itself have also had to pay 10% on that thing, as would the factory that bought the raw materials to make the thing, etc.


I see, "sales tax only applies to consumer purchases" would have been clearer.
