Why impose a tax?
There are numerous taxes in the world, and they vary significantly from one country to another, and even within the same country if it has federal states (United States, Germany, Spain, etc.).
Depending on the taxation laws of your country or state, the products you sell are likely to be taxed. It is therefore imperative that you comply with the tax laws that apply to you.
