company, regardless of their source. A gross receipts tax is often compared to a <a href="/wiki/Sales_tax" title="Sales tax">sales tax</a>; the difference is that a gross receipts tax is levied upon the seller of goods or services, while a sales tax is nominally levied upon the buyer (although both are usually collected and paid to the government by the seller). This is compared to other taxes listed as separate line items on billings, are not directly included in the listed price of the item, and are not a factor in markup or profit on company sales. A gross receipts tax has a pyramid effect that increases the actual taxable percentage as it passes through the product or service lifecycle.<sup id="cite_ref-aiaks_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aiaks-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another pyramid effect of the tax comes from the fact that such a tax by definition is levied against itself (in the sense that a business subject to a gross receipts tax will raise its prices to compensate, which in turn increases its gross revenue, which increases the tax owed, and so on in circles) and therefore amounts to a tax on tax. Thus, the actual tax rate of a gross receipts tax is always slightly higher than the nominal tax rate. This is easiest to discern in jurisdictions like Hawaii where businesses are allowed to visibly pass on gross excise tax to their customers.<sup id="cite_ref-TaxFacts37-1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TaxFacts37-1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Criticism">Criticism</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gross_receipts_tax&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Criticism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Economists have criticized gross receipts taxes for encouraging <a href="/wiki/Vertical_integration" title="Vertical integration">vertical integration</a> among companies and imposing different effective tax rates across different industries.<sup id="cite_ref-tfstudy_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tfstudy-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="United_States">United States</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gross_receipts_tax&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: United States"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Several <a href="/wiki/U.S._state" title="U.S. state">states</a> in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> have imposed gross receipts taxes. </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Alabama" title="Alabama">Alabama</a> - Per Article 3 of the code of Alabama,<sup id="cite_ref-Alabama_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Alabama-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the state has imposed this type of tax on most utilities.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Delaware" title="Delaware">Delaware</a> - Business and occupational gross receipts tax rates range from 0.096% to 1.92%, depending on the business activity.<sup id="cite_ref-delaware_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-delaware-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Florida" title="Florida">Florida</a> - A tax of 2.5% is imposed on "gross receipts from the sale, delivery, or transportation of natural gas, manufactured gas, or electricity to a retail consumer in Florida," referring to utility companies (suppliers of electrical power).<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hawaii" title="Hawaii">Hawaii</a> - Hawaii imposes its General Excise Tax (GET) as a gross receipts tax on all business done in Hawaii, at 0.5% for wholesaling and manufacturing, 0.15% for insurance commissions, and 4% (4.5% in <a href="/wiki/Honolulu_County,_Hawaii" title="Honolulu County, Hawaii">Honolulu County</a>) for all other activities.
