There is a retail sales tax of 7% what would the sales tax liability be for each house. What is the average tax rate for each house?
Answer :
Retail Sales Tax is consumption based tax. It is calculated on Consumption.
Sales tax liablity = Consumption * sales tax rate
House 1 Sales tax liablity = 45000 * 7% ==> 3150
House 2 Sales tax liablity = 40000 * 7% ==> 2800
House 3 Sales tax liablity = 21000* 7% ==> 1470
Average tax rate = (Sales tax liablity / Income) * 100
House 1 Average tax rate = (3150/150000) * 100 ==> 2.1%
House 2 Average tax rate = (2800/80000) * 100 ==> 3.5%
House 3 Average tax rate = (1470/30000) * 100 ==> 4.9%
