According to Section 3 of the Sales Act of 1990, the consumer is responsible for paying the sales tax when products are supplied, whereas the importer is responsible for paying the sales tax when goods are imported.

What is the difference between a sales tax and a use tax?

The vendor, who is acting as the state's agent, collects the sales tax and remits it to the state on behalf of the final customer. The use tax, on the other hand, is self-assessed and paid by the final customer.

Given,

Purchase fuel = 12 Gallons per $2.89 per gallons (including Tax)

2 Granola Bar for $1.59 per bar

1 apple for $0.89

2 bottles of vitamin water for $1.39

The sales Tax rate is 7.5%

Required to calculate the difference amount of Actual Paid and Actual Purchase =?

Fuel = 12 x 2.89 = $34.68 (including tax)

Granola Bar = 2 x 1.59 = $3.18

Apple = 1 x 0.89 = $0.89

Vitamin Water = 2 x 1.39 = $2.78

Total Purchase excluding fuel without tax = $3.18 + $0.89 + $2.78 = $6.85.

Adding sale tax on $6.85 at the rate of 7.5% = $7.36

Total Purchase including Tax is $7.36 + $34.68 = $42.04

Thus, there is a clear difference that Leon paid 2.60 more than his actual purchase. He paid $ 44.64 and his actual purchase is 42.04 the difference between that is $2.60.
