I recently bought a LG Voyager, they state it cost like $250 but they had a sale that cost like $199 but with a $50.00 rebate. Well, when we comleted the transaction, I noticed that they charged me a very high tax on the phone, it was about $33 tax charge. I asked why, their explanation was that accoring to the state of California, they have to charge the tax amount on the retail price of the phone which was $400.00! THAT IS A RIP OFF! I need to know if this is legal! I did not pay $400.00 for the phone....

Thank Sacramento...

Several years ago the State Legislature realized that there was a lot of money they were "loosing" in taxes on all of the Cell Phone companies giving away "free" or "discounted" phones. In their greed they figured that they would make it a law for retailers to collect sales tax based on the FULL retail cost.

charging sales tax on full price is not a ripoff is't the law

AUTHOR: Happy Person - (U.S.A.)

probably your weren't explained properly, but in the state of california the vendor
is REQUIRED to charge sales tax on the full amount. If you would like to verify you can log onto www.boe.ca.gov (california board of equalization) and read publication 120...
