Wal-Mart Sales Tax Ripoff I shop at Wal-Mart stores in AR, Bryant, Benton, North Little Rock, Little Rock Shackleford Crossing. I noticed that only the receipt from the Wal-Mart at Shackleford Crossing in Little Rock charges a third sales tax, called sales tax 4.  Little Rock Arkansas

If you don't know how to do this, ask a neighborhood 3rd grader for help.

You claim you're paying 15% total sales tax on your purchase.  NOT likely.  The store lists all the different taxes on different classes of items and any local taxes.  It may also include taxes for two local jurisdictions when a store overlaps two taxing authorities.  Your claim, if accurate, would impose a tax of $15 on a $100 purchase.  Highly doubtful. Those separate taxes shown are NOT additive, they apply to specific purchases. My latest Walmart receipt shows Tax 1 6.36%,  Tax 2 3.460% and Tax 5 2.900%.  Guess that would mean there's also a Tax 4..go figure.  The total purchase was for $72.27 and the TOTAL tax was $3.18.  If your method of figuring was correct the tax rate would have been 12.72% and the tax would be $9.19. See where your rant goes wrong?

What did Walmart management say about the taxes?  You did ask, right?  Oh you didn't, you just bi***ed on Ripoff Report.  Why would any store charge taxes they aren't authorized to collect and risk heavy fines and having to refund all the tax collected?  Your complaint is really unbelievable.

What other prices at Walmart, besides "Honey Crisp Apples" are "50% to 75%" higher? You do know, don't you that different stores have different size packages of goods and it's the price per ounce, pound that matters.  Cite a few examples, using the same size units of Walmart's prices being 50-75% higher.  I shop there weekly and it's simply untrue.

Post that receipt here and I'll help you inerpret it and prove you're DEAD WRONG.
