pre-tax return on sales
Explanation:
According to the definition in lbone's Baidu page reference, 利税 = profit and tax = profit (net of tax) + tax = pre-tax profit.

Profit over sales = "(rate of) return on sales" , so it looks to me like "pre-tax (rate of) return on sales". This is a common enough term, although the usual Chinese equivalent is 稅前銷售收益率.

Or just "return on sales", as this is the ratio of pre-tax profit to total sales revenue.

profits and taxes on sales


Explanation:
利税,指利+税:profits and taxes,在有的组合中也有用单数的。

销售利税率:
是指利税总额与销售净收入的比率,它反映企业销售收入的收益水平和贡献程度。
http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/23965628.html?si=1

按此意义,可译为:
(rate/ratio of) profits and taxes on sales

这种译法在网上没查到,其它相关译法也很少,可能是译法不地道,也可能是因为这个概念本身就不常见吧。

仅供参考。

Sales tax


Explanation:
Tax is seldom charged on sales alone. It is normally charged on sales minus all related expenses, and it will be called Profit before Tax. So, in this case, it will be more of a Sales Tax. Hope this clarifies.
