“Texas state sales tax is 8.25% with exclusions for groceries and prescription meds.”
Nope. It’s 6.25%. The maximum is 8.25%, but that’s only when the locals and transit authorities are through with you - such as Houston and most of Harris County. If you buy a car in Texas, it’s still 6.25%, and it’s also deductible (for those that itemize), so the real rate is closer 4.6%, for most people. A GREAT DEAL.
Yeah, California has exclusions too. It’s so complicated. Some food items are exempt but others aren’t.
