state taxes
state taxes, federal taxes, and local taxes.
State taxes, usually State Income Tax
Taxes really don't stimulate the economy as well as the private sector. Obviously if you are spending someone else's money, you wouldn't spend it as efficiently or as productively as if you yourself were spending your money. This is a highly debateable topic, so not everyone will agree, but from all the evidence I can see, in general higher taxes hinder economic growth.
State Governments
The United States has a progressive tax system so the more your income, the higher your income taxes will be. U.S. Citizens are also subject to many, many different kinds of taxes. Some of these taxes include State and Local Income Taxes, State and Local Sales Taxes, State and Local Property Taxes on homes, land, and other property, State and Local Motor Vehicle Taxes, Federal, State and Local Gasoline Taxes, etc. There is also a host of embedded taxes that the people of the United States pay such as taxes that are imposed on business and corporations that are passed on to the consumer, taxes imposed on utilities, telephone, railroad, transportation, etc.
Income taxes and inport tarffs
Taxes are collected at the local, state and federal level
It would depend on your state law. But in most places, counties collect sales taxes in addition to state sales taxes.
Local Government =) State constitutions can limit taxes only on private purposes.
Yes, you can claim state and local sales taxes on your return. But in order to do so you must itemize deductions and you must not claim state and local income taxes. You're allowed to claim either state and local income taxes or state and local sales taxes, but not both.If you do claim the sales tax deduction, you can either claim the amount you actually paid (based on receipts) or the amount given to you by the IRS's Sales Tax Deduction Calculator.For a more detailed explanation of the state and local sales tax deduction, please see Deducting State Sales Tax.
