Gross Sales does not include revenue received from the sale of stored value cards (but the redemption value will be included in "Gross Sales" when the stored value card is redeemed at your Facility). Gross Sales also does not include the amount of any sales or similar tax that is added to the selling price and actually paid to the taxing authority. The amount of any customer refunds may be deducted from Gross Sales if the charge was previously included in Gross Sales.
