Explanation:

Firms are authorized by the government to collect sales tax on their behalf at the time of sales and such amount when collected are treated as liability by the firm to be remitted to the goverments.

At the point of sale the sales tax is showing as percentage to be charged on sales separately e.g 5% on sales figures.

If the tax percentage is not separated at the time of sales and the sales is made inclusive of sales tax then the sales tax like in the above scenario will be 7/107 * $26,750 which gives $1750
