Indeed, state and local sales tax in the US is complex.
There are around 15-20 different tax rates in my metro area, between state, regional (multiple county metropolitan council), county, and city specific taxes.
From the central city area, you can reach all of the 15-20 different sales tax rate areas within 30-45 minutes.
- brewdad 3y agoFine. You can list the price in an ad before tax, so long as you make that VERY clear. There is no excuse for not listing the all-in price on the shelf or tag in the store. The person who completes my transaction will be charging me the exact amount of tax, so the value is known. Taxes don't change very often. Usually years go by and there will be months of notice before they do change.
- kasey_junk 3y agoIn my municipality the tax rate varies by what items you are purchasing and those items change at least yearly but frequently mid year. There are tax regimes where how much of an item you buy changes the calculated tax.
