Samsung seems to be overcharging sales tax (lemmy.world)

So I’ve just ordered the newly announced Z Fold and Watch, and noticed after ordering that the sales tax on Samsung’s invoice is higher than my local sales tax rate. My billing and shipping address are both in Seattle, WA, which has a state+county+city sales tax rate of 10.25%, but Samsung charged 11.275%....

sargunv OP ,

It is being shipped. I’m not sure where the origin is, but if they’re in an origin based state then I’d expect it to be the same 11.275% for everyone. Afaik CA is the only hybrid one where state, county, city are origin based and district is destination based. I don’t think any of my 10.25% is a district rate, so even it that case it should effectively be the origin rate if I understand how this works correctly (which I probably don’t because sales tax is really a nightmare)

sargunv OP ,

it’s complicated 🙃 (see the bit about remote sellers)

sargunv OP ,

this is pretty cool! I’m tempted to give it some manufactured scenarios and see if it can correctly identify the cause
