All your gasoline, grocery, general retail,etc. taxes rounded up to the nearest nickel? A %6 tax would become ten.
“A %6 tax would become ten.”
Actually, it only would if you purchase something for a dollar. As far as purchase greater that $1, it would never be more than 4 cents per purchase.
For example, if you bought something for $52.46, with 6% sales tax it would come to $55.61. Without a penny you would have to round (up I assume) to $55.65. The effective tax rate on that purchase is 6.08%, not 10%.
