Sales tax comfusing  

Well Coolguy I see you live in Las Vegas so I assume you will have
to pay tax on anything you purchase, whether it be tangible merchandise, food, clothing or service. If your state is like Florida, then you do not pay tax on all food items in the grocery store. Only on a select few which is already prepared and ready to eat. Nor do we have to pay a state tax. But I don't know of any other state that does this. Does Nevada have a tax on food? Do you have to pay a state tax too, like the other states?
We Americans are taxed for everything! They tax our earnings, then charge us another tax when we spend it, so your $1.00 isn't worth $1.00. Just look at some of your bills, they have up to 5 different taxes on some of them. The tax isn't for service it's for the time it took to do this chore, also known as labor. As the saying goes "there are two things you can be sure of and that's death and taxes."

Anything that you can (eat) is (not taxable,) these are your basic groceries, like milk, eggs, bread ext.Things that you use like toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo, anything that you do not eat but you use these items..These (are taxable) items....when you eat out, like fast foods and any other eating out places, (these are taxable) because it is a luxuary tax applied...As far as your car, these items are taxable because the parts that are put on your car, like oil changes and such, the company has to pay tax when they buy these parts..The company pays tax when they order the oil that they put into your car, they have to pay tax on tires that they order to put on your car, so since they have to pay tax on these items, then they tax you..When there is a business of any kind running,say like Walmart or stores, every 3 months these companies have to pay into the government a tax, and since they have to pay taxes to the government these taxes they take from you goes to the government ,,,these stores do not get to keep the taxes that they charge you,but they have to collect them from you and then they pass them onto the government ....So actually Taxes are charged to you but these collected taxes are passed from you to the store, and from the store to the government..If you buy something from an individual, then they cannot legally charge taxes unless they have a business..and they are having to pay taxes....Example :If you come to my house and buy something from me,,,ok I do not have a business,I do not have to pay taxes on that item,if you give me $100.00 then i put it in my pocket,and we are done...However if i own a business and i have to pay taxes then i can charge you taxes..I hope this helps a little to clear up the matter...
