Aside from silly "sales-tax-holidays" I've never heard of the sales tax rates changing so frequently. I'm curious to know where this is happening "multiple times per year". Here in MA it's been the same rate for 15 years. And for the sales-tax-holiday situation can't a shop just say something like "everything will have x% taken off at the register" just like they would during a typical "10% off all items" type of sale?


If MA has a single rate across the entire state that hasn't changed in 15 users, they are very different from how most other states operate.


Here in Texas you will nearly always be paying the maximum 8.25%, its been that way for 30+ years.


Same here in PA. 6% for basically everything besides non-prepared food and a couple other categories which are tax exempt
