The correct response is:

**A sales tax is on the purchase of goods and services at the point of sale while a use tax is paid on goods and services purchased when sales tax was not paid.**

This accurately describes the primary distinction between the two types of taxes. Sales tax is collected at the time of purchase, while use tax is imposed on goods bought in a manner that did not include sales tax (for example, purchases made from out-of-state vendors).
