National Sales Tax ???

[JoeLee]

Just wondering if anyone has been hit with sales tax from any repeat suppliers that you have used.

I got my first surprise yesterday from McMaster.

National? or State? I know that since it was opened up for states to demand sales tax from online purchases, my state has been steadily adding to the number of business that now add it to a purchase. There is no longer a requirement for 'brick and mortar' presence in a state to collect tax,

+1 on what chipmaker says. I'm seeing ME state sales tax regularly on online purchases now.

If you live in Massachusetts, you have a 5.1% income tax, then they tax you another 6.25% sales tax on taxable items. And a few years ago Massachusetts started taxing income from capital gains at 12% instead of the income tax rate. Then add excise tax for registered cars/boats/etc. And of course local property taxes for your real estate/etc. They don't call it Taxachusetts for nothing

7.25% here in Ventura County, Ca. JR
