OK...
bit of a strange one, I'l be going to New York with my Ex-girlriend next week, (was suppose to be a nice romantic holiday over valentines day, but then I broke up with her), but since the holiday is paid for, we figure that we'll go anyway...
anyhow... with the exchange rate being so damn good, I have decided that I'm going to buy a whole load of CDs...
the only question I have, is this...
what is the sales tax in New York? (4%?) does it apply to tourists -(can I claim tax back at the airport in the same way as you can with the tax paid at some british shops that advertise tax free shopping?), I know that it applies to clothes/sports equipment, but does it apply to CD's?
I don't need to have an exact breakdown... I really only care about the items that it applies to, (specifically CDs).
