How does your State and town tax you

Wisconsin is a lot of cash for 30 Acers

Ohio we pay a 6.25% base State tax and counties tax/tack on upwards of 1.5% on top of that. We have State Income tax, Local income Tax paid to cities we have Local School Income taxes and Local Real-Estate taxes paid to just about everything (schools fire police roads or townships etc.) Then when we put plates on the cars we pay "Fees" that vary by county township etc however not the yearly tax based on it's value.. If you live in City A and Work in City B you pay income taxes in BOTH CITIES in many cases (not all of them have it) but most are going that way.


My real-estate taxes are now spit that shows about 8 or 9 main draws most to "Public Services;" Schools, Police, Fire, Water shed/runoff etc...
total bunk...

that's what I like the best about when we grow , produce and process things like food & firewood entirely on our own. No parasite who had ought naught to do with it receives a penny. that makes the food taste better and the fire feel warmer. My next place will be off grid no electric bill for them to add extras on too.

Ouch !

Here in Mass, we pay 6.25% sales tax on the purchase of a new car or truck. The town also doubles down and is nice enough to send a excise tax bill shortly after the registration is complete. The first year it is about the same as sales tax and drops along with the value of the particular vehicle. Is this typical in other states?

It could be worse: the tax rate on our NH place is two and a half times the rate in Boston.

City/County taxes everything you buy. Area is a dumping ground for illegals which means new schools constantly being built, and they arn't pole barns. I went to summer school a couple times and had to find my own why to school and back, now the county/city run school buses year round along with school feeding programs!

I like that free heat and food also. Plus it's nice to know what you're eating. :thumbsup:

On our state income tax form each year we are supposed to declare and pay sales tax on all out of state online purchases; I'm probably the only person in the state foolish enough to do it. They are talking about changing the tax scheme though; various ideas are suggested including eliminating income tax.
in the end I suspect it will look something like this;

1) How much money did you make last year after Federal taxes
2) Send it to us.

NH needs to get it somewhere. They have no State income tax and no sales tax. Our real estate tax here is ridiculous, but what we get hit with for autos is even more aggravating to me.

Just remember here in the USA everything you buy is taxed seven times before you buy it then you get taxed again.

Does that include the property tax reductions Deval Patrick enacted?
