I'm sure there are taxes payable in the US. Are they normally added on to the advertised price? (I've been to the states a few times, but I've been so many places who can remember this stuff?)
Yes. Prices advertised would be before taxes here.
In the US, the taxes would be entirely a state and local (city/county) thing. Most states have sales taxes. For me, it would be the 6.5% state sales tax on something like a chain saw.
The US Federal government concerns itself with income taxes (as do many states as well) and import tarriffs, but there is no nationwide sales tax (or VAT or GST).
