A 9.75% Sales Tax In Los Angeles County?
Unbelievable, but quite possible.
[Side note: I think Zach at LAist makes a technical mistake in his post – The state’s base sales tax in California is currently 7.25%, not 6.25% as he suggests. But he is correct stating that the combined tax rate in L.A. County is currently 8.25% when you figure in both the state and county sales taxes together.]
