Maybe somebody can help me out with this. The state sales tax is 4.3% Henry county is 1%. Collinsville is zero. I just looked up the 2023 tax rates. Why is Lowe's charging 7.3% sales tax? nobody ever notice when you check out the Lowe's bills are always extremely higher than what you thought they would be. They're charging an additional 2%. Where's all that money? I know I want mine back and I spend a lot of money at Lowe's at 2%. Doesn't sound like a lot but it adds up to thousands and in Lowe's case it adds up into the millions. I mean is that someone's Christmas bonus or what? Or am I just looking at this wrong which I don't think so? I know a retail store can't determine their own tax rate and increase it or maybe I miss that section you know when I was reading up on the state sales tax rates
