Business Expense Taxes are taxes that are levied on businesses on the cost of goods or services they use in the course of their operation. These taxes cover a wide variety of expenses, including employee wages, office supplies, rent and utilities, advertising, travel, and entertainment. They are usually charged in addition to other taxes such as income taxes, sales taxes, and payroll taxes. Because they are paid by businesses, they are essential for bringing in revenue to fund public projects and services. While these taxes can be burdensome on businesses, they are necessary to support vital government programs like health care and infrastructure.
