    In both cases, the tax is paid from the money that otherwise could come to a human, it’s just business is deducting it automatically.

    Sales tax is paid by the customer, not the business. I … don’t know why you think it’s automatically deducted by the business? Unless you mean B2B purchases

      Do you, a person buying your whatever the fuck, then later sending a separate transfer to the government with sales tax? Or, if you’re paying cash, do you later set your sales tax for that purchase aside and send it to the government in a separate envelope?
