>The actual reason is to have everyone in the chain (from raw material to retail to end customer/consumer) pay it right away, and then if someone in the chain skipped, the next guy still has to charge the whole tax, while getting no refund for the tax he didn't pay to the previous guy. So the main reason for gray economy is now moot. You pay based on what you charged your customers, minus what you can prove you paid while buying supplies and raw materials. If you don't have receipts for those, you can't prove, so the state still gets the full percentage, and most of it even before the end product is sold, or paid (your customer may pay you weeks later, but you have to pay the VAT within a given number of days, regardless).
I do know that reasoning for a sales tax to be done that way and
the reasoning that is is asked as the benefit of doing biz in the specific country.
On some transactions which are exempt (insurance for instance) a corresponding insurance tax is levyed.
But a land/property transaction is not a sale in the typical biz sense... Why a sales tax ?
