How US Sales Tax Works

Unlike value-added tax (VAT) common in Europe, sales tax in the United States is levied strictly at the point of sale. Most US states allow local municipalities (counties, cities, and special transit districts) to add local piggyback sales taxes on top of base state tax rates.
