Sales tax is money you collect for the state, not revenue you get to spend. If it sits in the same account as profit and never gets labeled, your books will overstate income and understate what you owe.
What good books show
Taxable vs non-taxable sales when it matters, sales tax collected, and payments remitted. Marketplace and in-person sellers around Killeen, Temple, and Copperas Cove all hit this issue when volume grows.
