It is a common misconception that inventory levels have an effect on income taxes, it does not affect income taxes except in interstate income allocations. Inventory is simply an asset similar in nature to cash, receivables, equipment, etc. In some locations inventory may impact local property taxes, . Some business owners have been using the "big inventory clearance due to taxes" as a sales gimmick but it is not real.
RR - BPS is doing a poor job with Cabela's. It is understandable that they are sold out of ammo and reloading supplies (everyone is), and maybe they sold a lot of scopes for Christmas, but they are not carrying many items that the real Cabela's did and they do not carry as much in stock. It was a dark day when BPS bought Cabela's.
