United States
In the United States, the state of Michigan uses a form of VAT known as the "Single Business Tax" (SBT) as its form of general business taxation. It is the only state in the U.S. to use a VAT. When it was adopted in 1975, it replaced seven business taxes, including a corporate income tax. On August 9, 2006, the Michigan legislature approved voter-initiated legislation to repeal the Single Business Tax. The repeal will be effective after December 31, 2007.[2]
Most states have sales tax charged to the end buyer only. Sales tax rates are anywhere from 0%-8.8% depending on the state and the municipality. The unit price tags and advertised prices on items usually do not include sales tax yet and will only be computed at the cash register when the customer pays for them. Generally, no sales tax is charged for most services. This is a major difference between sales tax levied in the United States and value added tax in other countries.
