Re: California Sales Tax
When I was in the US as a visitor, I assumed Sales Tax was like VAT and could be claimed back on departure so I saved up all my receipts. I was soon set straight though :D
Edit: I should say that Louisiana offers a tax rebate to international visitors. I believe it's the only state to do so? |

Not too sure my son will like tax being added but hes only here for a few weeks so he will have to learn to live with it.
So many times I've been caught out, going into a shop to buy a bottle of coke or something, checking my purse for change and thinking I have enough and then getting to the checkout and realising I've forgotten about tax. So embarrassing! |

though it's amusing seeing those 99c menu's, and after tax...f'ing coppers are a pain to dig up *l* |
