Brought this up in a thread on the Deckel forum but it's off topic in that thread.
Lately - past two years maybe - been seeing auctioneers charge sales tax % that is higher than the sales tax % for the state the machine is located in.
Two recent examples:
In this auction the sales tax is listed as 10.25%. The machine is located in Illinois. Illinois sales tax is 6.25%
Another example:
Auctioneer lists sales tax as 8.25% , applied to hammer price. Item located in Texas, where the sales Tax is 6.25%
Any ideas on why the auction sales tax % is higher?
