Definitely had no idea about this one… I didn’t know the sales taxes were so high in certain states.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Tennessee has the highest combined state and average local sales tax rate of any U.S. state, at 9.44%, according to a research group’s report released Thursday.

The Tax Foundation report also said that, among major metropolitan areas, two Alabama cities are tied for the highest combined state, county and city sales taxes. Birmingham and Montgomery both levy an average of 10% on purchases.
