I can see where sales tax differences could be crippling. by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 07/03/2012, 6:11pm PDT
Jerry Whorebach's mention of how Canada's combined GST and PST is 12% plus other taxes on bottles of soda, for example, made me think about the issue of sales taxes.

I wonder in the case of sales taxes that vary by city, if you purchase a car, do you pay the sales tax based on where the dealer is located or where you live? This can be significant when we're talking about the difference of 7.25 vs 9%. A $15,000 automobile would be $1088 at 7.25; at 9% it's $1350.
