Vet Sales Tax

[Thunder]

Okay, what is the deal with the extreme low sales tax from Neel Vet on MacArthur in OKC?

Smokey's stay at the hospital totals $467.87 and the grand sales tax was only $1.10.

Why is it that the sales tax so low there, but dangerously high at Walmart and Target when the spending total is the same?

Maybe they are only taxing certain items? What item did you buy? Do they tax services? I wouldn't think so. Are you comparing merchandise to services?

.08375 sales tax is dangerously high? On what planet?
But ECO probably hit it on the nose, services vs. goods.

No sales tax on the services. Like going to the doctor's office...there's no tax for it.
The tax you paid is probably on his food.

Well, he had Operation Declaw on all 4 paws, Operation Neuter, State-of-the-Art jungle condo boarding stay (with food, water, litter box, toys, bedding), a bag of Yesterday's News to use for the next few days, oh his first shots ever in his life.

Aren't they in Warr Acres?

Warr Acres has a very low sales tax.

[sweetdaisy]

Look at your invoice, and the items that have a "T" next to them were taxable. Again, the services were not taxable...probably the bag of Yesterday's News that you took home.

Warr Acres, since April, has been at 8.5 percent.

Most of what you paid for were services. Those are non-taxable. Any "goods" charged to you (food, and or the litter), would have amounted to about $13.50. My guess is the bag of litter, if you assume that the food was part of their standard boarding fee.
