Sales taxes are probably the most hidden form of the three major taxes (income, sales, and property). Income taxes you see on a paystub or when you file your taxes, and property tax is generally paid in one sum or through a mortgage company.
Sales taxes, on the other hand, are automatically calculated and added to the final price, without the consumer ever really thinking about it. In fact, most people probably don’t think of the total amount of sales taxes they pay annually.
