But they are not obligated to account for those seperately and remit them
to the government. It's just a more complex way for them to compute the
price.
Example: cattle dealers in the US are required to collect $1.00 per head
purchased and remit it to the government [or did last time I sold cattle:
this may have changed].

John - before you cry too loudly there are (IIRC) at least 3
different fees here in Alberta when we sell cattle and then on top of
it all there are manditory identification tags. The supply chain
benefits from them but only the primary producer installs them!!
