Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi - thanks to everyone who has replied. Can someone explain to me what the tax thing is in New York? Does it apply to other states? Does the tax only apply to retail - or do they add it to other things eg restaurants, taxis etc? In the store is there a ticket price and then when you pay at the counter you have to pay a certain % in tax? Need to be prepared, don't want to think I am getting a bargain and then be shocked when they add on extra tax. Can foreigners claim the tax when they leave the country if they spend over a certain limit? Thank you. Gerace cgerace@...> wrote: Yep, the only cold place you are going is New York.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Sharon, Once or twice a year you can purchase clothing in New York for one week tax free. Otherwise, I believe that they charge 8% tax. could verify that. I don't know if they do this in any other states but in New Jersey we don't pay tax for clothes which is why a lot of New Yorkers find their way to the Garden State Plaza for shopping. Oh and yes there is tax in restaurants as well.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi guys, Sales tax in NY is 8.75%. It is not listed on the ticket price so you will be surprised to see it add up when they ring you up. During tax free week the sales tax is lifted on clothes and shoes less than $100 for each individual item. One of my favorite things about our weekly trips to Baltimore was stopping in Delaware to go shopping and paying no tax at all. I did all my toy shopping at the Toys R Us right off the highway. It was great. > Yep, the only cold place you are going is New York. Although it was pretty > warm this weekend but who knows what is going to happen from one day to the > next.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I thought New Jersey was sales tax free entirely. What do you pay tax for? Come on up to Oregon Sharon, no sales tax here :~} The border is only something like 16 hours from San Diego by car hehe. I am weirded out having to pay sales tax. Right across the river is Washington State and I can show them Oregon ID and not have to pay tax (except for the restaurants). When I look at a price on the shelf, that's what I expect to pay, not more. We have a pretty high state income and property taxes here though so it's not like we don't pay. Many people in the southern part of Washington do find their way to Oregon for shopping purposes.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 here's another one for ya girls... (but I think NJ as well has this too) We don't pump our own gas! We just sit in the car, they do all the work. It's very cool! In fact, it's illegal for us to pump gas here lol. Can even get windows washed, oil checked... at any pump. Just like in the movies. This is good though, it rains a lot here and I for one am happy to sit in my warm car and not get gasoline on me.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 That is so funny Kori. I learned to drive in NJ (used to live there). When I moved to Virginia, I didn't know how to get gas. Of course the people working at the gas station were like " dumb blonde " , because I had to ask them. That is one thing I miss about Jersey, and the pizza.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Same here, Missouri and Illinois both will tax you til you drop.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 When I traveled to New York with a friend, we went to so many gas station to find a pump your own until we finally realized there weren't any! I hate having some one else to it for me. Plus, gas was $8 and I gave the guy a $20, and he was going to keep all of it for a tip! I guess you like what you are use to!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 That is just not right! We have a few full service gas stations but you pay extra for the gas, as if it isn't expensive enough already when you have the attendant pump it for you. And to top it off we have to pay sales tax on that gas that we just pumped ourselves! > > >You and me both!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Wow, our gas has been fluctuating so much lately I can't keep up but I think the last time I filled up it was about $1.85, so about the same, but that was self-serve. The last time I got full-serve it was $1.95. What's the reason for the law that says you can't pump your own gas? allison > > > > > > >You and me both!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi How far is the (not sure if I will get the name right) Garden Plaza from New York? Is it worth me taking time out of NY to visit this shopping paradise that is tax free? If I sound odd, my geography of USA is poor. Correct me if I am wrong but New Jersey and New York are next to each other on the map. Ta Sharon PS if any of you come to Australia - you'll have to fill your own car with petrol and the tax is included in the per litre cost, which is around $0.95 cents AND you get to clean your own windows.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hi Sharon, Yes, you are right it is the Garden State Plaza. It is only about a ½ hour maybe less from the Washington Bridge but I would imagine that being quite a cab fair to get there. I think your better off checking out the amazing stores inside Manhattan and if the kids are going to be with you make sure you take them to the Toys ‘R’ Us at Times Square! They will love the Ferris Wheel and the Jurrasic Park Dinosaur in there. Have Fun!!

Is it worth me taking time out of NY to visit this shopping paradise that is tax free? If I sound odd, my geography of USA is poor. Correct me if I am wrong but New Jersey and New York are next to each other on the map. Ta Sharon PS if any of you come to Australia - you'll have to fill your own car with petrol and the tax is included in the per litre cost, which is around $0.95 cents AND you get to clean your own windows.

LOL We don't pay tax on clothes but everything else is taxed at 6% (except in Hudson County, its only 3% there).

(but I think NJ as well has this too) We don't pump our own gas! We just sit in the car, they do all the work. It's very cool! In fact, it's illegal for us to pump gas here lol. Can even get windows washed, oil checked... at any pump. Just like in the movies. This is good though, it rains a lot here and I for one am happy to sit in my warm car and not get gasoline on me. Hate it when I have to drive through other states, don't know how to work the pumps :~} Kori At 09:13 PM 2/7/2005, you wrote: >You and me both!
