if the sales tax applies to new as well as old homes, this one flew right past me, unless you are saying that the 17% is not the sales tax itself on the purchase of the home but rather on the materials......
Ahhh, memories of being a gc. Bailing my drunk and disorderly subs out of jail, having drunk women show up on the jobsite screaming about no child support, and taking a roofer to the hospital for falling off a roof...... those were the days!
Dear chronic_loser,
Nothing "used" gets taxed.
Currently occupied homes sold by their owners (with or without the assistance of a Realtor) will not have the 30% retail tax applied to their sale.
Just new homes.

Sales tax will only be applied to new homes. What I am saying is, if the income and SS tax is repealed, I will at most see about a 10% savings in costs. When I add the 23% inclusive sales tax (30% sales tax when figured normally), my price will be 17% higher than today (0.9*1.3 = 1.17). My homes will be 17% more expensive then the same house I sold the year before.
