Many UK visitors to Florida are confused when they are charged more for their shopping than they expected, ie buy something for $10, give the cashier $20, and you'll get $9.40 back not $10.
There is a 6% sales tax levied on most goods, but ticket prices are generally always excluding tax, so $10 actually means $10.60
Sometimes -but not always-they wave it at the markets!
It's such a nuisance!

In any of the flea markets, Just say "That does Include the Tax doesnt it" and smile they usually say OK
always look on the bright side
They often have "Tax Free Weeks" - around end of July definitely, seems as though they run these before school terms etc, but not completely sure. This can really make a difference to the prices.
