STATE sales tax. Then you add county and City Tax. Ain't no Republicans in the City of NY. Well, Rudy and what's his face, but they haven't raised sales taxes that I know.tyrolean_skier wrote:The sales tax in Nassau County is 8.5 and in NYC it is 8.25.

N.Y. pers. Income Tax is 6.8 while Mass is 5.0
N.Y. Gas tax is 22.6 cents while Mass is 21.6
So these 2 are BOTH killers
You can thank the previous Governor for most of the NY spending and taxes. King Mario did a great job of tax and spend while he had diarehha of the mouth.

YEP, we in CT used to laugh at Tax a two shits because of all the heavy taxes they paid. Then Lord Weiker took office and BOOM, Income Tax is 4.5%, Sales tax dropped all the way down from 6.5% to 6%, Fuel taxes doubled to the 3rd highest in the country. The list goes on and on, but we caught and by passed Tas a two shits quickly during Lord Weiker's reign.Geoff wrote:Nope. Mass taxes interest and dividends at 12% (since only wealthy people have interest and dividends). *cough*Atomic1 wrote:It also states the INCOME TAX in Mass. at 12%
While N.Y. at 7.5
The Mass income tax rate on wages is a little north of 5%.
Massachusetts used to be one of the big tax states in the country. Over the last 20 years, they've kept their tax rates constant while all the other states jacked theirs up.
