Sales taxes vary from state to state, and also from city to city. In my own state of Pennsylvania, our sales tax is 6%. But I pay an additional 1% for the privilege of living in Philadelphia (yes, that’s how I choose to characterize it, since it makes me feel better). The rules governing sales tax are subject to the individual charters and rules within each state or municipality - and the rates are constantly changing.

If we ALL just quit paying what the law does not require us to pay, that would have a drastic impact on the FED and the IRS!!!! The law is simple to read if we just found time to read it. You can obtain a copy of the IRC (Internal Revenue Code) from Amazon.com or through just about any book store. No matter what the IRS has on their website it is ALL lies!!!! Congress has admitted there are NO laws that require Americans to file or pay income taxes. Anything contrary to this truth is nothing less than fraud, coercion and treason!!!!!

Everything, save for certain food items have sales tax applied down here, but we don't have an income tax, so that is the trade-off. Much doesn't vary city to city, but it does county to county. For instance, the sales tax in Volusia County (Daytona Beach) is 6% which the state level. However, if you cross over into Flagler County, the sales tax is 7% with the county taking 1% for themselves. No changes here in Florida.
