Standard sales tax in Ca. is 7 1/4%. I guess the 1/4 is just to make it that much more difficult to figure out...(dang politicians, anyways!) -TD

Here in Texas I believe it's 8.2 % but their trying to raise it to 9.2 % Their also trying to add another $1 tax on a pack of cigarettes. All you non-smoking fanatics please don't bombard me with "thats good" and "you shouldn't smoke anyway" and "they should be a hundred dollars a pack" replies. I've heard them all. In this case they don't care if you smoke, they just want the money.

Exactly what Triton said...

I live in one of the Cities that impose another 2%. So, 8.25% for me.

another big fat Zero here too.

This state takes local businesses to the cleaners though, and homeowners... our gasoline tax is pretty high too. Last november we voted in an 80% tax hike on smokers.

0% sales tax - 0% income tax - Heck we get $1000 a year to live here. Bet all of that will be changing in the future.

It ain't that great when you're retired either, unless you're living on muni interest. Ask me why I know this...
