      Highly variable depending on where you are. Often the next town over will have a different sales tax. There’s a state sales tax rate, which differs state to state, then there is a county/town sales tax added to that, which will vary within the state itself.

        That’s pretty standard, what confuses me about American taxes is how often they seem to change, from Americans’ accounts.

          What do you mean by that? There’s a lot of different taxes that change from location to location beyond sales tax, is that what you mean?

      It varies from place to place. In the city I used to live in the sales tax would also change when there were special municipal projects that needed funding, like a stupid ass arena…
