* grt = Gross Receipts Tax. In this state, the corporation is required to pay the gross receipts tax on each sale instead of a traditional income tax based on its earnings. The effect is that a percentage of the total revenue or gross receipts for each sale has to be paid to the state as tax. The gross receipts tax is much like a Value Added Tax, only for businesses rather than individuals. Four states impose gross receipt taxes, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and Washington.
