Sales tax is typically calculated as a percentage of the sale price of a good or service. The rate is determined by local, state, or federal government authorities and can vary by location and type of product. To compute the sales tax, multiply the sale price by the applicable tax rate, and then add that amount to the original price for the total cost to the consumer. Some jurisdictions may have exemptions or different rates for specific items, so it's important to check local regulations.

In Indiana how is sales tax figured on a car trade?

In Indiana, when you trade in a car as part of a vehicle purchase, the sales tax is calculated on the price of the new vehicle minus the trade-in value. For example, if you buy a car for $20,000 and trade in your old car valued at $5,000, you would pay sales tax on $15,000. This trade-in deduction helps reduce the overall sales tax owed on the transaction. It's important to keep documentation of the trade-in value for accurate tax calculation.

Is there sales tax on music wedding bands?

If the wedding band has a company and pays taxes then yes, they would have to pay sales tax. If they are just playing for the pleasure of it and are paid (under the table ... cheating the government) then there is no tax. If a friend has a band and they play and get paid there would be no tax and if that friend has a company they can write it off as a wedding gift.
