A:Answer The listed price does not include tax. Sales taxes in the US are charged by most state and some local governments so the amount you will have to pay will depend on where you buy it. Some areas charge no sales tax while others charge over 10%; most are somewhere in between. In general, large cities that get lots of visitors (New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc) also charge the highest sales tax rates. Sales tax is not avoidable or refundable based upon your residency or citizenship. Depending on where you live though you may be able to claim a credit or deduction for taxes you've paid in a foreign country when you pay your local taxes. You would need to talk to a local tax professional to see if this is possible in your case and keep documentation such as a sales receipt or credit card statement.
