Cities and states have the right to charge an additional percentage of the cost of some items in order to raise revenues. In most places, a sales tax of up to 10% of the price is added to the bill for many non-food items. Taxable items may include prepared food, technical equipment, books, records, clothing, cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, paper products, household products, appliances, cameras, and film. You should be aware that the prices listed on items in stores do not include sales tax. Sales tax will be added to your bill by a cashier.
