We sure do.  I live in CALIFORNIA.  We also have local tax in my area making the total tax 9.25%. 

taxachusetts?  yes....6.25%....

Washington has a 6.5% sales tax but no income tax.  I prefer a sales tax over an income tax. It's impossible to cheat the system with deductions. You pay for what you buy.  I wish our Federal income tax system would be replaced by a National sales tax.  Then those who don't report income (or cheat the system in other ways) still pay for what they buy.  

Of course, it's California!

Yes we do...it's 8.625%

I believe Oregon is the only other state without a sales tax.  We have high every other tax, but no sales tax.

We have sales tax around 10% but less for food.

We do, but I am in an unincorporated area of Mohave County so we do not have any city taxes and our sales tax is lower than the municipalities. 5.85%. Important for merchants and their customers to know. The cities are higher and Bullhead City's is 7.85%

Ohio does have a sales tax and it can vary depending on county/city.

There's a real estate transfer tax also that varies county to county.  Most counties in my market it's $3 per $1000 of sales price.

Yes and our new legislature has made it applicable to service fees. We now pay sales tax on labor. They tried to apply it to real estate commissions but backed off. They will try again.

Yep! This weekend was a sales-tax-free weekend as you shared.

We do and we are currently at 7.25%. 

I'm in California and I believe there is a "fee" just for thinking of another tax or stream of revenue enhancement that any number of people within the boundaries  of the state, most counties and nearly all cities can imagine.  After all, we are The Golden State for a reason.  

I think there are some, but their other taxes are sky high.  Nevada doesn't have income tax, for example, but they have one heck of a hotel tax from what I hear.

California still has sales tax.  Ventura County (where I'm at) is 7.5% while my neighbor to the east, and a 10 minute drive, Los Angeles County is over 9.5%

People used to drive here to buy cars, until the state changed sales tax on cars to cout for the county of residence not the county of purchase.

Yes, we do... and an income tax... and a personal property tax... and a service fee tax... and of course property taxes. But compared to my taxes in NY State I don't complain about NC taxes.

We have high property tax and 8.25% sales tax; however,  no state income tax.

Yes, our state sales tax is 6%, but we have an additional .5% for schools in my county, so 6.5%

We have tax-free days around the beginning of school for school supplies, clothes, etc.  We also have tax-free days around the beginning of hurricane season to buy hurricane supplies.

We do not have a state income tax.

Yes, we have

In CT we have a tax on everything. Sales tax is just a given. I just paid about a grand in taxes for our two cars for 2019. I paid the sales tax when I bought them & then I get to pay taxes on them every year I have them registered here in CT. We just put a sales tax on Plastic Bags so now you can pay .10 per bag everytime you go shopping. There is of course, property tax, that's a fun one! and don't forget State Income Tax!
It's a wonderful time to get out of CT. Join the exodus & make sure you call me to list your home. You won't regret it! Even with the Real Estate Sales Tax, state and local. (And go somewhere they wont tax you to death)

Yes we do BUT  very low low LOW property taxes - and I mean low!

Maryland but of course!

Yes.

8.75% -9+% CA

Oregon doesn't have any sales tax - I'm in WA but on the opposite side of the state from Oregon. Our sales tax adds up to a little over 8% which includes a mix of state and local taxes so sales tax varies from county to county, city to city in WA. If I lived in southern WA near the OR border I would probably make the drive to OR for higher end purchases - cars - anything that makes sense to take the time to drive to another state to save X% on sales tax.

Like Carol Williams stated - at least we don't have any state income tax here in WA state and there's no tax on fresh unprepared foods. And a sales tax is in my opinion a better form of taxation compared to income tax. I feel for the states that have both sales tax and income tax.

That said - all the states get their tax dollars one way or another - regardless of the combination of sales tax, income tax, property tax, licensing tax, liquor tax, tabacco tax, gasoline tax, excise taxes (transfer taxes) etc etc.

6.5% and low property taxes, especially if your home here is a primary residence in Washington County, Utah...45% tax break!

OH MAN! Do we ever here in California! The State politicians in Sacramento only know how to tax, take and give back NOTHING!

Scott Godzyk we have state sales tax.

Not only do we have sales tax in California...the state tax of 6% is often just the beginning. Due to other county and local sales taxes, we pay 9.75% where I live.

Chicago has a sales tax of 10.25%. Want bottled water you pay an additional water tax. Liquor can be close to 25% and gas, forget about it!

Yes and it is over-done with everything else and much undone where needed

8.75% in our county and less in the county south of us, and more in Los Angeles County, 9.5%...

Yes.

Yes, we have sales tax.  Can't get away from it.

Ours in Tennessee is 10% but no state income tax.

I'm in NY so we have taxes for taxes...! Luckily my daugther is in NH so at least one of us gets some relief. 

You can bank on it.  We have one free weekend when school starts, otherwise we are taxed on everything

Alaska has no state sales tax but some boroughs do. 

In Homer we have a sales tax but it has a cap at $500.00 so the sales tax on a home is 39.25 if it is $500 or 500,000

We are also a privacy state so the amount the home sales for is not disclosed

We have no income tax either

Sure, we do

Yes

Tax tax on tax this is from California we love taxes

YES

Sales Tax Breakdown

I'm in CA.........the list of things that don't get taxed is much shorter than those that do.  Here's a list of things that don't get taxed:

Air (for now)

That's all...

Yes we do 8% 

As Dan Pittsenbarger and Carol Williams pointed out, we do have sales tax but no income tax. I live close enough to ID that we can go there for large purchases. Gas is quite a bit less in ID as well so I try to fill up when I am over there. I am not close enough that it makes sense to drive and fill up though I have friends that are and we were just talking about sales/income/gas taxes this weekend and which state it would be better to live in.

Yes, and differs from city to city.

Yes are area with state and city like 8%

Yes, in CT it's 6.35%. This week it's pre-school tax free week on items under $100.00.

Los Angeles County has an incredibly high sales tax of 8.75%  Our State gas tax is putrid.

Oregon has no sales tax, but they are finding other names for taxes on sales activity. There are lodging taxes for example. And gas tax, liquor tax, cigarette tax, etc, all just added to the retail price to maintain the illusion of no sales tax. And a tax on marijuana (40% in some countries) which is passed by the retailer to the consumer.

Also, OR counties and cities can impose a sales tax, but the state does not. Given the woeful budget of many counties, there have been ballot measures seeking to impose a sales tax on specific transactions, such as food and beverage sales. Such a ballot measure recently failed in Hood River County, but other counties have passed it.

Washington used to let Oregon residents show their driver's license and not pay the WA sales tax at the point of sale. That just changed; Oregon residents now have to request reimbursement from WA the following year. Vancouver, WA car dealers are going to see a decrease in sales activity as a result.

Sadly in California we have very high sales tax-and it is every day.

Indiana has a 7 percent state sales tax; food and prescription drugs are exempt.  There is no transfer tax on the purchase/sale of a home. 

I would assume the largest sales taxes are paid on the purchases of vehicles.

Most counties and larger cities tack on extra sales taxes for hotel stays and some cities for restaurant sales.

No, but Hawaii does have a general excise tax (4.712%).
