  • that’s because sales tax is a municipality level tax as well as a state level tax. towns and counties can issue them. Sucks, right? I agree fully that the price on the label (which isn’t even on the item, it’s on the shelf) should be the price you pay. You shouldn’t add up the tax at the till. That’s the way many stores do it to make it clear that you’re the one paying the tax and that they just collect it and send it to the state. It’s not THEIR tax they’re paying, it’s not THEIR liability (even though they’re liable to give your money to the state don’t get me started it’s just republican/libertarian ideological bullshit). Also, it may trick you into spending a little bit more money. There’s lots of little games that go into why things are priced the way they are. All I know is I shop at the dispensary that rolls tax into the weed price.
