"When did Sales Tax get implemented?"Sales and use taxes are set individually by each state government.

When did Sales Tax get implemented?And when did property tax get started, for that matter? Mine went through the roof when I moved, not that I liked it all that much before.

Below is a previous post of mine. The article I reference indicates that sales taxes came into being during the Depression era. Hope this helps. - OB1 ***************************************************

Yes, they did pay property taxes during the depression but the default rate jumped dramatically. See This Article.
They had numerous tax revolts across the nation that put pressure on politicians to create tax limitation legislation, homestead exemptions, reductions in property value assessments etc.
The only problem was the local governments had to replace these lost taxes, so this is about the time you saw the beginning of state and local sales taxes. - OB1
