agree  Tony M: Yes, in this sort of context, the 'tax' being referred to is almost invariably just TVA [=VAT, or Purchase Tax in the US]

neutral  writeaway: @Dusty-it's sales tax in the US; there is no such thing as purchase tax. I purposely avoided mentioning what tax since I don't know the target readership.
