How do you get sales tax exemption?
Religious or charitable exemption is the best and most desirable of all business
positions, you need to start off as a religion or charity worker, not a businessman
looking for a good deal. Each country is different and similar to the idea of rewarding
beneficial or health or sanity promoting activity. The word sanity just means approved
by the church, don't let them intimidate you, you have a cause and see problems every
place and you submit a letter to a judge or leader and state your solution to the terrible
problem. Careful because there are big businesses and churches that prey upon the
sick, or desperate starving, freshly robbed an so forth. Your plan covers the bases to
bring prosperity and shows some other person or mentors success, a church can come
later but you will need to bow to some leader somewhere. Then you go to the tax
authority, plead your case.
Has Al Sharpton ever had a tax-paying job in his entire life?
Al Sharpton has primarily worked as a civil rights activist, minister, and television personality, and his income has often come from these roles rather than traditional employment. While he has faced scrutiny over his tax history, he has also engaged in various business ventures and media projects that contribute to his earnings. However, the specifics of whether he has held a conventional tax-paying job at any point in his life are not well-documented, as his career has largely focused on activism and media.
Do Canadians pay sales tax in the USA?
This may depend on the state, but i don`t believe so. I know when I, a Canadian, was in the USA I did not have to pay sales tax as long as I could show proof of residency in Canada (a driver`s license, most likely). This was true of Washington and Idaho at least.
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.
The cost of the movie would be $9.14.

Do hasidic Jews pay sales tax?
Yes. I don't know why anyone would think they don't. They are obligated legally just like everyone else. Sadly, some people believe that Jews do not pay taxes. This is a myth and where it comes from is a mystery. As for the sales tax, even though Hasidic Jews might only shop for food in Kosher stores, these stores sell products that are still subjected to whatever sales taxes their state requires. And if they eat in a Kosher restaurant, they pay whatever the meal tax is in that state.
Why don't American stores just add taxes to the price tags?
For starters, sales taxes are handled at the state and local levels. Five states don’t have sales taxes: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and New Hampshire. Some states have a high sales tax—currently, Tennessee leads the pack with a hefty 9.47 percent rate. In California, many cities have their own sales taxes, which can push the total rate to over 10 percent.
If a company operates on a large scale, they’d have to price every product on a state-by-state, city-by-city basis to include sales taxes in the total. That’s one headache if they’re putting price stickers onto individual products; it’s another headache entirely if they’re putting the price on the product itself.
A good example: AriZona beverages, which often have a large “99¢" label printed directly onto their cans. To accurately label their products, they’d need to manufacture different cans for different areas.
A main reason: Conventional wisdom holds that consumers generally don’t figure sales tax at the point of sale. If you’re a store owner and you post a lower price, you’ll probably enjoy more sales overall.
Still, though, that’s a matter of choice on the part of the business. In some states (like Washington), it’s a matter of law, as sellers are expressly prohibited from including sales tax in the listed price.
With all of that said, in many countries, the listed price is exactly what you pay, since they’ve got different tax systems and different cultural attitudes toward marketing. In Japan, for instance, most stores show post-tax pricing (though some also show pre-tax pricing, since the country’s sales tax is a rather high 8 percent).
We don’t expect U.S. retailers to change their ways anytime soon. Consider this: If one store decided to start posting full prices with sales tax included, they’d have to explain their unique pricing system to every single customer—and to most business owners, that sounds like a headache.
Are Assisted Living Facilities charges tax deductible?
Generally no. However, there may be a medically required aspect to look at. In fact, I have found that some facilities have a type of billing that breaks out the medical component of what they provide (nurse fee's,, doctor visit, etc), which may be deductible. Finally, I have seen one major chain (agreably where the residents have a buy in), break out a real property tax component, presumably so you can take advantage of that too. It may be deductible if living there meets the requirements of qualified long-term care services. This generally requires that within the previous 12 months a licensed doctor has certified that the individual meets one of two requirements: 1. He or she is unable to perform at least 2 out of 6 activities of daily living without the help of another person. Those activites are eating, toileting, transferring, bathing, dressing, and continence. 2. He or she requires substantial supervision for their own health and safety. I could see where someone with Alzheimer's disease may not require the services of a nursing home but instead enter an assisted living facility. If the requirements above are met, then the cost would be deductible as a medical expense. For residents that are not chronically ill, you can deduct those expenses that can be identified as medical expenses.
How much tax do you pay on an purchase in California?

A Florida Tax Warrant is the Florida Department of Revenue's version of a Lien. With regard to Sales and Use Taxes, it is a very serious matter, especially if it reflects taxes collected but not remitted. This is one of the few matters that will even follow a business through bankruptcy and, under certain circumstances, make the owners and employees responsible for remitting the tax personally liable both civilly and criminally. The Florida Department of Revenue takes these matters very seriously and publishes a list of people arrested for unpaid sales taxes monthly.
The issue may simply be that the business didn't properly report transactions and the Florida Department of Revenue is estimating taxes that may be due. Given the time constraints imposed on the Department of Revenue under the Statute of Limitations, the Department of Revenue will file a warrant to protect its right to collect money that may or may not be due.
In short, your friend needs a good attorney to represent him in this matter. It is not something that will simply go away. If fact, the warrant is usually filed by the Department of Revenue specifically because they want to maintain the right to come after the business and owners for potentially unpaid taxes.
