This depends on where you are. There is no Federal sales tax, but there are state and local taxes in some places. Usually it is a percentage of the purchase price.

Do you have to pay sales tax on sales tax?

Normally, you only pay sales tax on the retail price of an item as calculated after most discounts (but not all) have been applied. In many states, this is calculated before shipping and sometimes labor charges are added to the invoice. There are a few rare cases where sales tax could be applied on top of another tax similar to a sales tax, such as with the excise tax in Hawaii or the GST tax in VAT tax being applied after the GST tax in Quebec and Prince Edward Island, Canada. I suppose other instances of sales tax on top of sales tax could happen if you, for instance, purchased a car stereo, paid sales tax on it, and then paid a taxable labor charge that was based on the price of the stereo to have it installed. This scenario is not common however.
