      Highly variable depending on where you are. Often the next town over will have a different sales tax. There’s a state sales tax rate, which differs state to state, then there is a county/town sales tax added to that, which will vary within the state itself.

        That’s pretty standard, what confuses me about American taxes is how often they seem to change, from Americans’ accounts.

      It varies from place to place. In the city I used to live in the sales tax would also change when there were special municipal projects that needed funding, like a stupid ass arena…

        That still doesn’t answer the question.

        How many times did it change for you? Every month? Every week? Every day? Every hour? Every minute?
