Solution

The sales tax is charged by the government on the sale of an item. It is collected by the shopkeeper from the customer and given to the government. This is, therefore, always on the selling price of an item and is added to the value of the bill.

These days, however, the prices include the tax known as Value Added Tax (VAT).
