Sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by state and local governments in the U.S. (and similar taxes elsewhere) on the sale of goods and certain services, collected by the seller at the point of purchase and remitted to the taxing authority. Rates and rules vary significantly by jurisdiction, and businesses must track nexus, exemptions, and filing obligations. Accountants, controllers, and tax professionals manage sales tax compliance as part of a company's finance operations.
