Question by Rebecca Churchill | Posted in Washington, D.C.

My day-school is going on a trip to Washington DC next month, and we get a couple of hours to go shopping. How much sales tax is on every dollar that i expend?

Answer: 5.75 percent for ostensive personal property
9 percent for alcohol sold for off-premises consumption
10 percent for restaurant meals, take-out commons, rental cars and telephone calling cards
12 percent for commercial parking
14.5 percent for motor hotel and motel rooms.

EDIT -
Apparently not only is Maria wrong about what sales tax is in dc, she can't read either. Most of the things you will buy in dc will be taxed at 5.75%. If you eat a restaurant
