What is the sales tax in Arizona?

Question

I live In Tucson Arizona and im woundering how much is the sales tax? The reason why I ask is because i went into a sterio place and bought something and the sales tax there was like 7.8%... And I asked the guy how come its so much and he said its high because it something that is not need.

Does sales tax varry on what the item ur buying? Or does this b*****d owe me money?

Answer 1

Yes the tax here in Az is 7.8%. Just be thankful Tuscon does not have a city tax on it as well.

Yes sales tax does vary on what your buying. Items such as medicine and food (not prepared food) are taxed differently or not taxed at all. I cant remember if clothing is taxed or not.

Answer 2

7.8% sounds about right.

Many areas in and around Phoenix are over 8%.

Answer 3

Goods are taxed. Labor is not. Using profanity doesnt help either.
