Hi all!

Going to New York this weekend to shop shop shop and someone has mentioned that if I keep all my reciepts I can claim back the tax.

Does anyone know if this is true and if so how would I go about it?:confused:

Thanks!
 
You mean claim back US state and city sales tax?

I doubt it.

But go ahead and search for it.
 
No you cannot claim tax back unlike the Americans who can claim their tax back here !

I thought this was dependent on the state?

AFAIK, you can't claim it back from New York... but I was of the opinion that certain states allowed sales tax to be claimed back?

News to me if you can! :), certainly Canada used to have a Tax rebate program but it no longer applies in most cases. I have been to 12 of the states in the US and never came across a rebate program. There are however, states, like New Hampshire, that don't have any sales tax at all.
