Sales Tax - Gifts

This was shipped directly to the recipient, so the local tax in this case is his county, not mine.

NY Sales Tax (4%): 1.22
County Sales Tax - Suffolk (4.25%): 1.30
MTA Tax (0.375%): 0.11

Sales Tax - Gift

Again, the gift was sent to the recipient. Like today's other gift purchase, it was chosen off of an online store's wedding registry. The registry is a list of wanted gifts, and allows for shipment to a (hidden) address specified by the registrant. But because I'm paying careful attention to taxes, I can tell that this one was shipped to CT, whereas the other was sent to the groom's hometown in NY.

CT Sales Tax (6.35%): 1.20
