What is the 'total' sales tax in NYC?

NY, the land of many taxes. I believe that's correct for NYC.

Well, what's your property tax rate? It doesn't get much lower than NYC (especially considering the sheer number and quality of services provided), so sales tax being a few % higher is generally insignificant, especially with internet ordering and the invention of the automobile. 😛

The city of Chicago previously had the highest total sales tax of all major U.S. cities (10.25%), which was a major reference point until the rate was decreased to 9.75% as of July 1, 2010.[not in citation given][73] It is also one of the most complex. 9.75% is levied on all non-perishable goods purchased, while 2% is levied on qualifying food, drugs, medicines and medical appliances.[not in citation given] [73] The Illinois Department of Revenue collects a 3% Chicago Soft Drink Tax and a 1% Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA) "Food and Beverage Tax", on prepared food and beverage purchases in the downtown area (These "downtown" boundaries are: Surf Street on the north, Ashland Avenue on the west, Stevenson Expressway (I-55) on the south, & Lake Michigan on the east. Furthermore, O'Hare and Midway airports also fall under the 1% MPEA tax district).[74] In addition, the Chicago Department of Revenue collects additional sales taxes on items such as fountain drinks, bottled water, liquor, and cigarettes.[75]

I'm far more mentally here than you'll ever be.

But I still think that the Chicago Tribune is also still in Chicago.

As a result of the reduction in Cook County's portion of the sales tax, the overall sales tax rate in Chicago will drop from 10.25 percent to 9.75 percent, reducing the cost of a $1,000 purchase by $5.

Now that 13.5%, is that a special tax for balsamic vinegar or something?

That's Cook County, not City of Chicago

People that are not on location should just STFU
