When I had to file state taxes on my prior business, all extra taxes over the taxed amount had to be turned in as tax revenue. i.e. you can't charge somebody 9/10th of a cent so the tax has to be rounded to a full percent and the state/feds keep that other .1 percent.

Effectively making the 9/10ths of a cent a full cent tax without calling it that. It was also illegal in that state to pay the taxes for the consumer for the a similar reason. The laws create the most revenue possible for the government.
