在美國，哪一州課的稅最重跟哪一州最輕？

Question

在美國購物，所有商品都要課稅，這種買東西的模式跟台灣很不同，有點不是滋味的感覺，因為台灣都直接把帨算進去了！我很好奇，Oregan（奧律根州）是不課商品稅的，哪如題哪州課的稅最重，哪州又是最輕的呢？

我還是有疑問耶！我現在住夏威夷，我的買東西的發票上寫的是4.164%，今天剛從西雅圖過完感恩節回來，買東西的發票寫著8.8%哪麼請問yahoo的參考網站的數字跟我實際生活的有出入耶！可以解釋一下嗎？謝謝

Answer 1

Alaska . Delaware .New Hampshire 是不需付state sale tax
最高是加州 7.25%
其次是Rhode Island 7%

WashingtonWashington has a 6.5% state sales tax. The sales tax does not apply to food items . Local additional sales taxes vary from 0.5% to 2.4%, sales taxes for the regional transit authority (for example, total sales tax in Seattle is 8.8%, and 9.3% in restaurants and coffee shops).

Hawaii does not technically have a sales tax, but it does have an excise tax which applies to nearly every conceivable type of transaction (including services), and is technically charged to the business rather than the consumer.

Unlike other states, businesses may or may not show the tax separately on the receipt, as it is technically part of the selling price. 4% (sometimes shown as a 4.166% tax) is charged at retail and 0.5% is charged on wholesale.

Answer 2

美國消費稅除了state tax外
還要再加上每個city或county的levy
所以就算同一州不同的城市稅也會不一樣
網站上列的那些數字幾乎都是沒有加levy的
例如加州大城市的稅大多是8.25%,8.5%
比較沒那麼繁華的郡才是7.75%
像另一個回答者Vicky住的田納西州還有地方加上levy要9.75%
紐約州大部分的地方才6%左右 紐約市卻要8.625%

Answer 3

I live in Tennesse right now and the tax is 9.25%. It's probably the high one, and it also means here is the poor State.

Answer 4

加州是7.25%-8.25%. 華盛頓州也滿高的8.25%-8.75%
