What is sales tax where you live? Bonus points if you can divy it up by federal, state and city.

Only one UK person need post

)))) the VAT is the same all over there isn't it?

I think it's like 9.5% in fayetteville college town. In russelleville it's like 8.5%. I used to know how much state tax was, but I forgot since then.

Sales tax? It's 6% around here. I didn't know it differed from state to state, though. D:

At home I know it's 4% county, 4% state for a grand total of 8%. (Or 8.25% in some places, with 4.25% county. or at least it used to be.) That's in good ol' upstate New York.

Down here in PA, it's 6% total, though I don't know how it gets split up among the various governments.

I don't know the fed/state/local breakdown, but it's around 7.25% here in The Woodlands/Conroe, Texas.

25% yay. Try beating that one.

exceptions: food, which is 14% and transport which is 8%

I'll be the UK's representative for this thread, then. VAT is 17.5% here.

Oneida County: Combined 9.00%

**Tavrobel** · 10-25-2007, 09:13 PM

I don't know anything other than it's 5% in Maryland and DC. Pennsylvania has 7% on everything except for food and clothing; actually, food might even be out of the question, as well as it has been quite some time.

GST: 7%
PST: 8%

Fun times. Look them up in wikipedia.

Fed sales tax = 0%
Illinois sales tax = 6%
Flossmoor sales tax = 1.5%
Chicago Sales tax = 3%

I could on and on into different towns but this is good enough :D
