Sales Tax / VAT in NY or FL

Need info concerning sales tax or VAT in the states.

What is the sales tax or VAT rate in these 2 states?
Is the tax always mentioned in the prices or is it added as soon as a deal is made?
If i want to buy something in NY of Florida and want to export it to Europe, is there a possibility to get a refund of the local; taxes?

What is the best state in the US to buy a expensive luxury article?

Thx

  • If your mailing address is in the same state that the ecommerce site is registered then you pay the sales tax.
  • No, the price doesn't include sales tax
  • for Europe you will not be charged sales tax
