A sales tax is a tax that is put on items when they are purchased by the consumer. It is collected as a percentage of the price. Most states have a sales tax, as do many counties and cities, which can increase the total levied to 10% or higher. Often the tax on food and medicine will be lower, either by statute or because the state restricts additional local taxes.
Laws vary governing the collection of sales tax for interstate purchases or internet sales. Some states discourage interstate purchases by levying "use" taxes for items purchased out-of-state for use in-state by its residents. For the same reason, vehicle registrations can also collect fees to recoup any avoided sales tax.
