If you don't know how to read legislation, it's not up to me to teach you. "Gross payment" is clearly defined as payments including "taxable propery or service" and "Federal taxes imposed by this title". Nowhere does it include state or local sales taxes, nor does the bill contradict itself.

`(1) FOR 2005- In the calendar year 2005, the rate of tax is 23 percent of the gross payments for the taxable property or service.
It's not 23% "including" the taxable property or service .... It's "23 percent of the gross payments for the taxable property or service.

Thank goodness I don't depend on you for ANY information.
