HB 2154 -- Payment of Sales Taxes Sponsor: Smith (14) This bill allows a seller to advertise that the required sales tax or any part of the tax will be assumed or absorbed into the price of the property sold or the service rendered if the amount of the tax assumed or absorbed is separately stated on the invoice or receipt. Any retailer who fails to separately state the assumed or absorbed sales tax will be guilty of a misdemeanor.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
