Say you paid $21 for an item that had a 20% discount and a sales tax of 5%. RP = regular prince = to be determined DR = discount rate = 20% = 0.2 DP = discounted price = (100% - DR) x RP = (1.00 - DR) x RP STR = sales tax rate = 5% = 0.05 PP = purchase price = $21 $21 = DP + (STR x DP) = DP + 0.05DP = 1.05DP $21 = 1.05DP $21/1.05 = DP DP = $21/1.05 DP = $20 DISCOUNTED PRICE DP = $20 = (1.00 - 0.20) x RP (1.00 - 0.20) x RP = $20 (0.80) x RP = $20 0.8RP = $20 RP = $20/0.8 RP = $25 REGULAR PRICE

Why do I need to pay tax on inventory that was already paid?

This really needs a little more information in order to answer this question. Are you talking about sales tax, income taxes, property taxes, etc. For instance, if you are talking about property taxes, you probably didn't pay taxes on t when you bought it or at least you didn't pay property taxes. With sales taxes, you may have paid sales tax on the inventory when you bought it but that's not the way you are supposed to do sales tax. What a business does when they buy items they plan to resale, is that they will not pay sales tax when they purchase the items but will collect sales tax when it is sold to the end user, thereby calculating tax based on the higher value being the retail sales price instead of the wholesale price.
