I’ve heard that VAT and sales tax operate very differently. Can you explain their primary differences and which one might be more favorable for international trade?

The primary difference between VAT and sales tax lies in their application: VAT is applied at every stage of production and distribution, while sales tax is collected only at the final sale to the consumer. VAT is generally considered more transparent for international trade but may involve more administrative complexity. For a thorough comparison and advice on which system might suit your business, I recommend reading Differences between VAT and sales tax. It’s an excellent resource for understanding these tax systems.
