Is it legal to charge sales tax on money that is being used to repay tax exempt bonds?

Sophia asked:


Our community issued tax exempt bonds to build improvements to the utility system. A portion of our utility bill goes to repay that tax exempt bond. However, we are charged sales tax on ALL of the utility bill. Is this legal under the IRS and SEC rules, or should they be exempting a pro-rated portion of the bill from sales taxes?
Our city does not receive revenue from property tax. The property tax goes to the school district. The city is operated from 2 sources of revenue: the profit on the city-operated electric, water, and gas utility and the proceeds from a 1.5% sales tax.

How can a future restaurant predict sales for use in a business plan?

agendagal asked:


My family and I are looking to open a restaurant in our home town. We have created a business plan but are not sure how to predict our sales. Is there someone we could hire to do this? I imagine having data such as population density and demographics of our area would be helpful but do not know how to translate that info into possible sales.

The restaurant we want to open is a well-known bar/grill chain south of us. It is not known at all here. I know what several stores in the south do in sales and I know what two pizza places and a bar here do in sales. I only know sales in these places because I have worked them or have family that have. I don’t think I can call local bar/grills in town and ask them to share their data with us and am not sure how applicable the data I have will be.

Sophia asked:


I asked the manager what positions they had open at this clothing store, and he said that they were looking for a position for customer service. Does customer service inculde sales associates, or is it something different from a sales associate position? And if so, what does a person in a customer service position do?
Thanks for explaining the differences.

But then in your opinion, which of them is harder?
