Voros: Amazon's free ride in California should end
But, hey, denizens of Concord, El Cerrito, San Leandro, Tracy and Union City, there's a clear way around that pesky 10 percent sales tax. Here's what you do. Say you need some new tools, like a new hammer and new set of screwdrivers. When April Fool's Day rolls around next week, the East Bay cities of El Cerrito, San Leandro and Union City will be raising sales taxes to 10. 92 if you placed your order from El Cerrito, San Leandro or Union City after April 1. You stick with the same brand because you trust it and select a Stanley 16-piece cushion grip screwdriver set for $15. How would you like to save 10 percent off. That's no joke: Voters in November approved raising their own sale taxes. There is no sales tax, saving you $2. Because Amazon does not have a brick-and-mortar presence in the state, it is free from collecting sales taxes. In Concord, the rate will increase by half a percent to 9. 75 percent and Tracy's will climb to 9.
