I purchase truck tires from vendors and I get charged Federal Excise Tax (FET) for each tire purchased. I then resell the tires to consumers and charge them, pass on, the same FET, no profit .  What is the best way to set up the payment of and the collection of FET in my chart of accounts?

Technically, if you are stocking the tires for later resale, then the FET is part of the tire cost.

But you can also, create an FET income and expense accounts, and post to them.
