It is 8% where I live but I'm shop a lot in the next town which has a 9% rate.
-
6%
-
13% in Ontario & Quebec it's 5% and then 9.9% on that total.
-
8% I thought it was supposed to drop back down to 7.5% since they increased gasoline taxes (ouch!) but it's been almost a month and it has yet to decrease
-
8.25%
-
5.5% and our idiot gov keeps insisting if we raise it , no one will vacation here. Herp derp, he's never been out of this state.
-
%5. We were 12% until recently, but HST was struck down in referendum, so we're back to 5%, but on more things.
-
9.5% here in Seattle but we don't have a state income tax. Guess it's not too bad.
-
13% here. PST went up 1% July 1st. Big scandal as gov't somehow scooted around the referendum.
-
9.25% in my city in CA
-
GST (goods and sales tax) is 15% here in NZ. Went up from 12.5% a few years ago
-
13% HST here
-
6% here in PA. We used to live in Delaware where its tax free!
-
6.25%
-
6% in my county, though I do a lot of shopping in another county where it's 7%.
-
6% Within the last year or two .5% was dripped. I guess we finished paying for a stadium or something.
-
@char54: same
-
6.25%. It used to be 5% which was so much easier to calculate. No tax on groceries or clothes though.
-
13%! Ugh!
-
Holy moly, 13% is crazy. Ours is 6%.
-
7% in my county
-
Ours is 5.6%, Burt our property tax is insane!!
-
Everything here is subject to VAT (value added tax), which is 17.5%.
-
13% HST here in Ontario-but there are some things that only qualify for the 5% GST portion (like kids clothes). Question though: in the US is tax a municipal thing? Unless I am wrong, tax here is done provincially (save for things like a Vancouver gas tax, right?). Gosh, you feel you know how something works until you really start to think about it! Ha!
-
@bluestriped bee: Wow!! We don't have state income tax either, but we "only" have 8.25%
-
Mexican VAT is 16%. Although it's calculated into all prices so you pay the price on the tag. Otherwise it would really sting more!
-
6% sales tax
-
4.2% in Missouri
Most cities add on additional sales taxes to make it 7.5% though (but not all of them!). My city + state is 5.4%
-
7.5 but no tax on groceries or clothes...
-
It's 8% in the town where I live in Missouri. I couldn't imagine 13%!! That's nuts!!
-
6%
-
0% I forget about sales tax when I leave the state though...
@bisous: Delaware?? What part of Delaware did you used to live?
-
9.5%!!!!
-
0% - Oregon FTW!
Although we make up for it in our other yearly taxes!
-
@BabyBoecksMom: oh, shoot. I was trying to think positively about our dreaded 9.5% sales tax. What state are you in?
-
5% where I am.
-
0%. But sales tax is really regressive so I'm ok with that.
-
0%
-
@zippylef: Same here, VAT is around 20%. 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%!
-
@yin: I lived in Newark for a few years when I was in school and then DH and I lived in Wilmington (Trolley Square) for a couple years, too! DH is from Sussex County. We still frequent DE a lot since we have a lot of friends who still live there!
Forgetting about sales tax when you leave the state stinks! What part do you live in?
