| | Sales tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A sales tax is a tax on consumption. | | | Sales taxes are generally regressive, that is, poorer people tend to pay a greater percentage of their income in sales tax than richer people, because they tend to spend a far higher percentage of their income. | | | A related type of tax is the value-added tax, or VAT. |

| | About Sales Tax |
| | So, the majority of U.S. states, including ours, address these transactions separately in their tax codes, requiring that sales tax be collected and paid (normally based on where the vendor is located). | | | So, while sales tax may not apply for some other catalog or "direct-ship" items on the Internet, it does apply to our products and services (under 35 ILCS 105/2, paragraph 97-030 of the IL code for Use and Occupation Taxes) and most other online florists, too. | | | This means that if you purchase a bouquet from us, you will pay a small amount in tax, but we trust you'll find that we more than make up for it in overall service and value. |
