Sales Tax

[Simpsons_fan]

How much is sales tax on goods in Orlando? Does it vary from store to store?

Also, I was looking at some goods on the Walmart website and I was wondering if anyone knew if the prices they have on their site include sales tax.

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Usually 7% on the goods.

Sales tax is always added on afterwards so your wallmart prices will not include tax,as magical dreams says it is between 6 and a half and 7% Eric

None of the prices in the US include sales taxes so don't forget to add them on when pricing up your potential purchases. So the prices are completely different to UK ones which are always fully inclusive.

The sales tax rates depend on which county you do your shopping.

The amount of sales tax varies from county to county. 6.5% thru to 7.5% for the main attraction area's.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS [?]

i had a few conversations this year with staff about how in uk we sell things at 99p or 6.99 - easy 1p change . they sell stuff at whatever $6.84, $10.47 - it always comes to so many cents over the dollar - result pockets of change and loads of added costs for them having to buy in extra change (to give to tourists).the staff just didnt get it!

take a water park, lots of people have wet dollars in their pockets, why not just set prices to whole dollars or 50 or 25 cents?? ,

still its fun for the kids , diving for lost change!!!
