Travelling to the states for the first time and not quite sure if prices on the price tags are inclusive of sales tax, or sales tax will be added on upon payment?
Thanks!

The base sales tax rate in California is 7.25 % but local jurisdictions are permitted to add something to that. I believe the highest is 8.25%. That amount is normally added when you pay.

Sales taxes are always added on at the register. That's universal throughout the US in states that have a sales tax. You will see an exception to that if your travels take you to Hawaii. Their tax is actually a gross receipts tax, not a sales tax, and is included on the shelf price but is also usually listed on the sales receipt so you'll know how much you tax are paying.
Gem has obviously never traveled outside the US and encountered the VAT system where the tax is included in the shelf price. That's actually the norm in most countries.

the only possible technique so as which you will get a repayment of income tax is do you need to had the article you got shipped on on your residing while you have been traveling and you have been charged income tax besides. If this happened, think ofyou've have been given to record for the income tax refund in the previous that is granted. in the different case, you don't get funds lower back.

added when you pay, not included in price tag
when staying in hotel ,, tax will be added to room rate also, and tax rate may be in the area of 12% to 15%,,

Taxes are almost always added at the register in the US (and probably the world).
Rarely will the tax be included.
