Only have a one time tax on inventory procurements for businesses when inventory is being stored for long periods of time. Inventory tax create just in time manufacturing scenarios that fail if parts become long lead time items. Long lead times now are anywhere between 4-24 months before items can be received. This affects national defense readiness because the cost of ownership while product sits on the shelve will generally exceed its own value after taxes are continually accessed and extracted from businesses. No longer is viable to stock parts in warehouses. We have national defense vessels that currently are waiting on parts to make them mission capable. Parts have to be manufactured to order because taxes make it no viable to keep on the shelf for more than a year.
