- HDThoreaun 3y agoFor what it’s worth US prices don’t include tax. I’ve got a 10% sales tax which puts the $1299 at $1430
- rootusrootus 3y agoThat reminds me I don't want to move anywhere in the US that has sales tax. I realize that limits my options.
- tracker1 3y agoAFAIK, just about every state has Sales tax... it's really not much different in practice than a VAT though, just accounted for differently. Not to mention, that many counties and cities add their own. You COULD live in a state without an Amazon presence, then you won't get charged sales tax. However, you're supposed to file use taxes to your local state, and there are efforts to change the mail order regulations altogether. Most states will eliminate or reduce taxes on food.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoAll states have sales taxes on something, whether it be alcohol, tobacco products, cannabis, hotel room nights, car rentals, or general retail purchases. And every state requires residents to pay use tax if they procure an item without paying at least an equivalent sales tax had it been purchased within the state, and bring that item home with you for use. 5 states do not have sales tax on most retail purchases: https://www.thebalancemoney.com/states-without-a-sales-tax-3193305 https://www.thebalancemoney.com/states-without-a-sales-tax-3... >You COULD live in a state without an Amazon presence, then you won't get charged sales tax.
