As a consumer item, in most states the sales tax would be $500 x the tax rate. In Virginia, it would be $500 x 5% or $25.00. California's rate is probably 7% or higher. By the way, in 2013, we will start paying sales tax on Amazon purchases as they are building a distribution center here.
Depends which county you live in. I believe it's probably around ~8%. It's probably going to be ~$40.
And in the UK....Wait for it...20% V.A.T.
Horrendous.
The MacBook pro I'm eyeing is £400 cheaper in the US (including US sales tax).
£400.
£400.
I shall be buying my 2012 MacBook pro in the US and shipping it over with bundlebox.
The 32gb wifi iPad is around £75 cheaper in the US.
Bleh.
Really? You start a thread about your local sales tax rather than Googling it?
This. Absolutely this.
20% !!!!
God save the queen
...and in Sweden VAT is 25%. Guess why I buy all my Apple gear in the US!
In the UK the 20% VAT is in addition to duty (depending on what the it is) + you pay tax on the shipping costs too!
iPad and iPhone only attract VAT but I believe HMRC created a specific duty rate for iPods
