- Dalewyn 3y agoJust stopping by to mention, for the non-Americans, that taxes as in the plural is important here: Sales taxes here in the US vary at the municipal, county, and state levels and any or all can apply towards your purchases at the same time.
- IIsi50MHz 3y agoFrom earlier HN threads, it seems that: - When you contact government offices to ensure you're paying the right taxes on the right things, it's very difficult to get a real answer. Many of them just outright do not know, and rely on "a good-faith effort". - The situation is so convoluted that their are specialist companies which sell you the idea that they can take care of it for you, yet want you sign a contract that says they're not liable for any problems.
