Taxes paid on items purchased for resale  are included in the cost of the goods you sold, an expense.

 

Sales tax you collect on goods you sell are not reported as income on your tax return.  They are entered as liabilities (Sales Tax Due) on your balance sheet until you remit (pay) them to the local or state sales tax authority.
