Amazon and tax
I think Amazon is ripping me off on tax.
Regular purchase... Item - 36.98 S&H - 0.00 Tax - 3.05 (on 36.98) Total 40.03 I have a card that earns points so when I apply the points, it looks like this... Item - 36.98 S&H - 0.00 Tax - 3.05 Total - 40.03 Points - -25.96 New total - 14.07 Here is how I believe it SHOULD be... Item - 36.98 Points - -25.96 S&H - 0.00 Total - 11.02 Tax - .91 (on 11.02) New total - 11.93 They are taxing me on the entire amount before deducting the reward points. If I buy a buy one get one free item, I don't pay tax on the original total, I pay tax on the discounted total. |

Correct you will be taxed before points used, also in stores you are taxed at pre coupon prices i believe.

do you think the government wants taxes collected on a discount or pre-discount total?
At restaurants, I do notice getting taxed on the post-discount total, though, when they do the tickets by hand (ex. Awful House). At restaurants and places where the bill is tallied by computer, I notice taxes are taken for the total before discount, though, |

It’s your state that is ripping you off with 8 and a quarter percent sales tax.

If I buy something that is $100.00 and I have a $25.00 discount coupon, I should pay tax on $75.00, not $100.00. |

When I worked at a drug store in HS, back when we still used price sticker guns and manual credit card imprint machines, we charged tax when someone brought in coupons for a free whatever. I think that kind of promotion was more common back then.

Politics start local. Get involved, vote wisely.. Our county has been raising taxes. When I first got here 12 years ago, it was 6% sales tax. We are at 9.5% with special taxes thrown in each time I buy here.
In Hawaii, they had a Kamaaina ( local resident) discount you could use if you had a Hawaii license. Maybe we should institute that in our own hoods.. Make the tourists pay our taxes, instead of us. Or, tell them to stop spending money on BS.. |
