What is the sales tax where you live? In Derby, Kansas it's 6.8%.

If you don't want to say the city where you live that's fine. I don't want anyone to feel pressured or anything, I'm just curious (at least say your state/country/etc, ya?). For anyone that cares I'll post other people's responses here once we get a couple.

To figure out your sales tax simply buy something and look at the receipt - it should be right under the subtotal and before the actual amount you paid.

... -totally not random at all-

In Wichita (which is only a couple minutes away) it's about 6.5%. So.. even though it doesn't vary much from city to city, it does vary a little.

Edit: Oh forgot this. And its 22% when you buy for example medicines, CDs or DVDs.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Oregon...

I didn't know tax can change according to what you buy... Anyone know if this happens in the US too and I've just been extremely unobservant? Or is it just a Finland (and possibly other places) thing?


Edit: Zamison, if you don't mind me asking, what state do you live in?

Anything over 10k in Australia has a 10% sales tax thrown on top of it. (Cars, vacant land, ETC)

Stuff like food, miscellaneous goods from a shop, ETC has nothing added.

It's 8.1% in Nevada, though the military bases don't have any sales tax whatsoever. However...getting into said military bases is a completely different obstacle.

Same as Gait - and I live in the upper end of that - the 1O.25%

I live in Central California, the super nice Tourist district. It's totally GREAT </ sarcasm > That and they took half the money from our Education system and most of the tax money ISN'T going back into education. With budget cuts and raised taxes we lost HALF of our teachers last year and now we are rationing paper this year. Blaaarg.

In my school we are cutting back classes (one of which I wanted to take :'[) and teachers, and yet we got a new SRO officer (think guard) and all the teachers got Macs last year. It doesn't make any sense. Budget cuts suck.


Anyone else wanna share their tax percents?
