If you import into Europe you will have to pay import duty and VAT. The import duty will be the same rate across the EU the VAT will be different depending on which country you are in.\n\nIn the UK the rate is 17.5%. You can contact customs on 01702 366 077 to get a commodity code. Ask to be put through to the National Advice Service once furnished with the code. They will then be able to provide costing information.

We pay quite a bit more taxes than most people realize.  Our employers pay payroll taxes before giving us our paychecks, we then turn around and pay taxes again on that same money.  Whenever a business making a product has to buy resources to make that product, they pay taxes which are then pushed on to us.  Conservative estimates are that taxes make up a minimum of 30% of almost every product we buy (before states tack on a sales tax)\n\nDon't forget other types of taxes, permits to build a home, registration on your car, insidiously high excise taxes on gasoline, and many many other taxes that we are used to paying (like tolls).\n\nThe federal income tax was started to fund the civil war, read more in my second included link.\n\nDon't forget that lack of representation and unfair taxes are what caused this country to break away from England in the first place.  Our forefathers would be disgusted to know that are taxes are many times higher now than under the rule of the King. :(

You will have to pay income taxes but not sales tax (although that will depend on your state).  Good luck.

Try the Fair Tax.  Eliminate all taxes and enact a sales tax.

There are in the main three types of tax/duty you may be charged if you import more goods than is your personal allowance when entering the U.K. from a third country (do not confuse this with third-world country). These 'taxes' are:\n\n1. Customs duty. (Applicable to all goods entering the U.K. from countries outside the European Union - calculated as an ad-valorum duty {invoice price abroad + transport/shipping costs +delivery costs}).\n\n2. Excise duty. (Applicable to Tobacco, cigarettes, alcohol, oils etc - calculated by weight, alcoholic strength and volume).\n\n3. VAT. (This is an ad-valorum tax, levied on all goods - in the U.K there are three rates, 17.5% standard rate, 5% reduced rate {domestic gas and electricity} and zero rate {food, childrens clothing, newspapers and books etc. There are also items exempt from tax of which there are few and far between.)\n\nIf you declare the goods at a Customs 'red point' then you may be asked to pay customs duty (depending on where you purchased your goods), you will have to pay excise duty (if they are tobacco or alcohol products) and you will have to pay VAT in addition to customs and excise duty.\n\nAny transgression i.e. using the Green Channel is deemed as smuggling and action will be taken, the least of which is seizure of the goods.\n\nTravelling from the European Union is totally different - there is no onus on the traveller to declare goods purchased in a member state as they are deemed to have paid all relevant European (which includes the U.K.) taxes. However if a traveller is stopped by a Customs Officer and the traveller has excise goods, he or she may be asked by the Officer to account for those goods - if after interview the Officer is satisfied the goods are for resale and/or money or favours have been exchanged for the goods, then the goods and any vehicle used to transport the goods are deemed forfeit to the Crown. (This policy does not include accessionary countries - Poland, Czech Republic etc) \n\nUntil 2005 H.M. Customs and Excise were assigned the collection of this revenue (indirect taxation) and all proceeds from payment of duties and VAT went to H.M. Treasury, detections that resulted in seizure only (some non-EU and all EU seizures) were completed with destruction of the goods. \n\nSince 2005 H.M. Customs and Excise have been combined with the Inland Revenue who dealt with direct taxation (income tax and the like). \n\nAll revenue collected is passed to H.M. Treasury for distrubution to the various Governmental and non-Governmental Departments for use to 'benefit' the public (politicians decide).\n\nHope this helps and give a little more detail - or there again muddies the waters.......

The tax rate on items depends upon where you are located within the State, County, or City, and the product being sold. If you go to the link in the Source(s) box, you might find your answer.\n\nAs you research the link, check to see if there are additional taxes levied by the county, and/or city. There are a growing number to whom additional tax liabilities are due.\n\nThese taxes are normally payable by January 31st of the following year without an approved filing extention.\n\nThe Publication 31 Appendix does show that dietary supplements or adjuncts are examples of taxable grocery items.

15% is not a whole number. It is .15 which is pretty close to 1/6. If you are paying tax you can bet that you will pay $1.43 for the tax which is a total of $10.93--another reason why math is so important--so you don't get overcharged.

You only pay sales tax if you and the seller both live in the same state.\n\nMichael

If the item is $10 and 6% sales tax, you multiply 0.06 x $10 to get 0.60 for the sales tax.\nIf it's 8.5% sales tax, you multiply 0.085 x $10 to get 0.85 for the sales tax.\n\nOn way to get the final number is by multiplying $10 x 1.06 to get $10.60.  For 8.5% sales tax, you multiply $10 x 1.085 to get $10.85.\n\nI hope this helps.

Your item cost x dollars. \n\nTo show the cost plus the tax, you'd say:\nx + .12x = $5000\n\n(it costs "x" amount, and you have to add 12% to it, or .12)\n\nSimplify that to:\n\n1.12x = $5000\n\nSolve for x, so now you get:\n\nx = 5000/1.12\n\nx = $4464.29

I think the issue is that they aren't paying most taxes.  (You pay taxes to America every time you buy something...)

The income tax is imposed on all income regardless of source.  So, if the receipt would be taxable if it came from a US source, then it is also taxable if it comes from a foreign source (with certain exceptions; consult your tax advisor).  If a foreign income tax was imposed on or withheld from the amount you received, you may be entitled to a credit against US tax for all or part of the foreign tax you paid.
