crissindahouse said: thx man! i wonder why they don't control the online purchases better? it has to hurt the shops who don't sell online (and produce more jobs) doesn't it? i know from here that retailers in the cities have problems to stay alive because of the online shops but the tax is the same for both. if i could get it over the internet tax free (ok you say you should pay tax then as well but nobody does^^) or would have to pay tax in the shop the price difference has to be even greater! but great that your tax rate is between 4-9% in most places in usa, we have 19% here for most products :( ok "only" 7% for groceries but for almost everything else 19%. it'S the most important tax for our gouvernment. more than 30% of the tax income comes from this. i wonder how much would be the difference between the costs for a german or an us american with average income with all taxes included. tax on income, tax for gasoline (which is a huge difference between usa and europe and especially germany), and so on... |
Just out of curiousity, how much does your income check get taxed? I know that here in New York, after medical, dental, social security, NY State Tax, Federal Tax, etc... I lose anywhere between 25-30% of my check. Then on top of that I have to pay 8.65% tax or so on just about every purchase I make...
It sucks here too, especially on Long Island where the cost of living is high.
