Is this a nationwide thing, or does it vary state to state?

If so, is there a place to go where I can find out if my state is included?

Thanks. :)
 
[quote name='sasukekun']I believe it varies from state to state. I know California charges tax regardless of your type of payment.[/QUOTE]

California also charges full tax even if use you a coupon to get a discount
 
It varies. Gift cards and periodicals are not taxed here in Corruption Central (Illinois). If you're trading in merchandise towards the purchase of something, be it a car or video-game system, and/or pay with a gift card, you only pay tax on the outstanding balance. When I bought my PSP Go from GS, with trades and store credit, I only had to pay about $10 out of pocket. I only had to pay our county's illustrious 10% sales tax on that $10. I rather like having to pay only $1 to our government, rather than $25.
 
I know in Washington state, you pay full sales tax on things bought with a gift card.

I also know if you're from Oregon and want tax-exempt status, you should be prepared to fill out a lot of annoying paperwork. :lol:
