Tax on inventory? The Feds don't tax inventory, only net income. Neither
does my state (NH). We tax real estate and business profits, but not
inventory. Are there states that actually tax inventory? That sounds like a
great way to discourage manufacturing businesses from locating in your
state. You sure about that, Roger?
For many manufacturers, having finished inventory in stock is better than
having raw material in stock. Banks credit lines are typically based on
75%-80% of Accounts Receivable and 50% of *finished* inventory. They won't
accept raw inventory as collateral.
