lame, i know....
 

but what's the sales tax where you live?

our is already 8.375 and they want to raise it a cent to remodel an arena that was just built in hopes to get the sonics.

nearly 10 cents on the dollar seems really fucking high to me.

anyway.. what's yours?

taxes are for squares man

Texas is 8.00

all of it? we go by counties. just up the road it's like 7.75.

we also already pay state tax, whereas texas does not, correct?

fucking basketball. fucking taxes. fucking texas.

is that Dollars, Taxes?

State tax is a nickel but 7 cents at restaruants and such.

it's a %.

yr no fucking okie!!

so sales tax is 5 cents on the dollar? but 7 cents for food? (and obviously higher for hotels..)

state tax is something different than sales tax.

maybe if i'd said it in a faux italian accent?

porkie?

8.25%

fatso

texas is a flat 8% sales tax

there is no state income tax or state sales tax.

17.5%. It goes to fund CCTV cameras on every street corner.

Lucky you.

yes, sales tax is 5cents.

6 percent

it varies from county to county & cities as well, from a little over 5% to 8%

in albuquerque it's currently 6.875%

but it's not really a sales tax-- it's a "gross receipts tax" that the business must pay (stupid, i know), but it usually gets billed to the buyer.

here. amuse yourself.

okay. They arent raising it. They are wanting to extend the previous one cent increase which expires this year for the above mentioned purpose.
