The taxbase as a whole.
Are you recommending that government employees not pay a National Retail Sales Tax or Income/Payroll taxes today, because they get there money from taxes lewislynn?
Please note that when a government purchases goods from retail suppliers today it pays the same taxes levied and embedded in the prices of those goods as everyone else.
Not according to Wisconson tax law. Apparently you read it, yet still don't understand the simple wording.
Sales of goods and services to the federal government or to any of its incorporated or unincorporated agencies or instrumentalities are exempt from the sales tax.Which part do you not understand, specifically?Taxing purchases by the federal government would violate the U.S. Constitution, so the fiscal effect of this exemption has not been estimated.
Besides if it is unconstitutional just don't pay it lewislynn, just like not paying the income tax, there is always the black market cash economy. LOL
Other than possible dementia, I have no idea what prompted you to ask that stupid question.
Not according to Wisconson tax law.
Constitution for the United States of America:
Wisconsin tax law, cannot tax federal entities. That has nothing to do with Federal Law taxing Federal entities.
This piece of vermine has fathered 6 kids, the kids and the females who bore them are supported by us through the welfare give-away program. The "father" has never seen the kids nor has he ever contributed one dime toward their support.
This miscreant reports a low wage income to the IRS and because he claims the 6 kids he gets a huge "refund" known as the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Happy post 4/15 bump for the children y'all.
Deducting taxes from wages is one thing. giving the impression that the government is taxing itself for sales and services as if it has money to pay itself is quite another.
BTW, the sales tax on "any government" payroll is ON the payroll, not deducted from it....BIG HUGE DIFFERENCE.
giving the impression that the government is taxing itself for sales and services as if it has money to pay itself is quite another.
As if it has money to pay itself, LOL. Of course it has money to pay itself it gets it from you in the first place.
When govenment purchases anything from private enterprise it pays the full cost of employee gross wages, employer payroll excises and any property, and other kinds of taxes embedded into the price of the product by virtue of financing all such elements from gross sales receipts.
That is a fundmental fact that cannot be avoided by the very nature of taxation. All a Retail Sales Tax does different is create a receipt detailing the tax burden separating it from the natural(i.e. taxfree) price of a product.
Everyone. government entities too, pays federal taxes through the corporate income/payroll tax VAT system.
DO YOU PAY YOUR INCOME TAX
AT THE SUPERMARKET?
