"here in united states it is 7.25% for the highest tax state, california."

I'm sorry, you need to do better research.

1 Tennessee 9.35%
2 Louisiana 8.70%
3 Washington 8.45%
4 New York 8.25%
5 Oklahoma 8.15%
6 Alabama 8.00%
7 Arkansas 8.00%
8 California 7.95%
9 Texas 7.95%
10 Arizona 7.80%

And realistically, most of those are higher. I live in Arizona, and I typically pay more than 8% thanks to city/county tax.

Anyway, VAT works in a totally different way than sales tax, so it's pointless to compare them directly.

And on top of that, there is a difference in the buying power of a Dollar and a Euro. While conversion rates highly favor the Euro, meaning it's good for Europeans to travel to the U.S., basic costs of living are still practically 1 to 1 in most places.

 

 That really sucks. In delaware, there's no tax on electronics. I live in philadelphia. Most people here just drive down to DE to buy expensive electronics

That'd be nice. I live in the fine state of Louisiana where sales tax is freaking high!
