Does anyone know if visitors to the USA can get a refund of the taxes they_ve paid during their vacation - like reimbursement at the border as they leave the country or something? The UK and Australia have similar systems and I_m wondering if the US do. I_m planning to go for a 3-4 week holiday next year and am curious. I_m not a US citizen (obviously).
Great question. Great idea.
No once they get their hands on your money, you cant get it back.
By next year they will have raised sales tax even more...as city _ states _ federal ..every one ! is low on money.
Sales tax goes for upkeep of the state, and city .. parks-roads- police etc. Which you_ll be using, so that would be their argument, Im sure. They have plans for all kinds of new taxes, too !
Its possible you_ll have hotel tax too, if youre going to a tourist type area.
Sigh.No, if you buy anything here you need to pay the taxes on it. It_s a sales tax, not a citizen tax.
