Taxes in the USA on purchases. Explain them to canadians. - GoFuckYourself.com

In canada we have PST and GST

provincial sales tax
and government sales tax.

In quebec.

PST is 8% or something
and GST is 7% accross the country.

about the same as in Ontario. These are on GOODS, not essentials such as bread.

which means buying a TV advertised at 100$ means you pay 115$ at the cash register.

a car for 10k means it will cost you 11.5k

how does this work in the US???

each city/state can set their own sales tax rate. Applies to most things.

State sales tax..

If I buy a $100 TV it it costs $105.

then for every 3 months, i take one months worth of income, and flush it down the toilet.

for all this, I get my garbage picked up once a week, and the guys throw the barrels into the road like they have a personal beef with them.

EITHER: State income tax, or state sales tax is deductible on your federal taxes. You gotta pick one or the other, according to an article I read last week with new tax laws.

when you sum it all together (property, sales, income, etc.. taxes) you end up paying 50+% in taxes in the US....
