However, it is lower on food and books (10-12%). The nice thing is that you don't "see" it. When you see a price on something, that is the price, you don't have to add another 20%! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-sales-tax#post-961500 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:19:06 +0000 DigAPony 961500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0% </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-sales-tax#post-961499 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:08:56 +0000 jedeve 961499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0%.
