Yes, they do in some states. New york doesn't because they won't even VAT most purchases. But it is complicated unlike the UK. You can just google and you'll get the details for your area/ state.

There are only five states in the US that don't levy sales tax, which the seller collects at the point of purchase. They are;

Alaska
Delaware
Montana
New Hampshire
Oregon

New york's sales tax is only exempted on some stuff less than a specific amount.

VAT is not even a US thing,its mostly Euro.

Dear Modath, please how do I process tax refund at the airport?

I got PTA from FCMB @199.5

Its UK I know, I don't think US refunds taxes.

Anyone have an idea if US does?

Waoh!!! Such an eye opener..Thank you God for pulling down the monster called PDP.

Saraki maybe a thief which I absolve him no blame for; truth is that most of our political class are daylight robbers but he is a better man than Lawan who will be at best a rubber stamp & a Bonaventure Mark 2.0.

Talking about how a 50-60bn cut won't make any difference to the economy, the whole gargantuan and obscene budget is for them to be "effective" lawmakers and that any cut should be across board and not restricted to them only... Maybe the cut should come from the 18k minimum wage...

TANoids should stop rejoicing, this is good for democracy unlike the PDP way of foisting a "unanimous" candidate and woe betide any dissenting voice..

A public policy organisation on African affairs, the Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center (AFRIPOL) has recommended former President Goodluck Jonathan for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Reading and understanding are too seperate things,I can bet this comments above were put together after barely skimming through the article!

Do our people even bother to comprehend?, he was reccommended, there is no nomination yet let alone winning!!!

What da F is AFRIPOL? Another branch of TAN?

Folks shouting hero up & down to massage his ego & console themselves like the results were inconclusive and he took one for the team for peace's sake.. did he or did he not lose the election #yeyenatu

Chinom:
@Codedeben, Osinbajo was BARRED. He was prohibited from attending the meeting. Nothing to do with being disposed or indisposed. He was simply not allowed to attend. They did not consider him worthy. Is it clear to you now ?. Yorubas have made a complete fool of themselves. Tinubu thought he was being smart, but Buhari and the Northern tigers are actually the smart ones.
Tinubu was used. He was nothing but their ATM.

Osinbajo will be given only worthless functions to perform as well serve tea and coffie.

You TANoids need to have your lies and misinformation straight, is it an hausa/fulani leading you that is the problem or the yoruba factor!!

Have a "store full" of tissues for your inevitable tears cos the next four years is going to be filled with pains and lots of teeth gnashing for you lots.

PMB too sure! Killing corruption before corruption kills Nigeria.. Friends and foes be damned!! No way forward without "sacred" heads rolling!!

Even if he is unable to totally kill corruption, he will make sure its rendered incapacitated!!!

"I belong to everybody, I belong toNobody" PMB May 29,2015...

CAN& their 7bn will answer in the affirmative.

As for "wendell simlin", the judgement waiting for him is still gathering evidence.

@hawttattoo,
You welcome sis, that's why we are here for one another...e dey sweet my belle when we give one another useful pointers..


@chloe7,
Still LMAO @ "shepe" for them, e dey pain person gan & they have zero remorse.

GT are very nice ,about 3yrs ago, I did tax refund @ heathrow but couldn't get cash & oyinbo said they'll credit my MC, I was even thinking owo ti wo gbo, only to receive alert a couple of weeks after that the equivalent of 240+ was credited while my account was debited for around 260 for the stuff I bought. ... I complained at the branch & was told rate fluctuates by sec/min/hr. I just weak & waka!!

mavinc4u:
Is the $300 for POS or ATM meanwhile which bank master card did you try and whose money order did you try?

The $300 limit is just an opinion we were throwing around cos of the difficulty in getting money order, no one has any definitive proof.

A lady on our US give birth thread tried to buy money order @ both walmart & the post office with her FIDELITY MCard & was unsuccessful in both places within the last two days..

She said her friend who works there said they'll work on her card but she hasn't reported back to the thread.

I'm thinking of opening a stanbic account cos of their online rate (yet to find out if its same with their POS as well).
I'm fairly hopeful their international status may make money order a sure thing. Thx..

Happymum:
Ok, do u think stanbic will be better than first bank? If yes,i don't mind going to open an account with them on Monday because right now I need d bank that offers the cheapest rate

My decision to go with stanbic is predicated on two factors.

1.Our last travel, @ walmart; my DH GT card was declined but his stanbic was accepted with no hiccup with a better fx rate, I made a few returns & he was credited same amount that was deducted unlike GT that will credit you @ their buy rate & "convince" you its the rate as at that particular sec/min/hr.

I hope with the above, I have been able to convince you & not confuse you that when on a budget GT is to wakaed from.


@nerf,
See ya mouth like $15k+ , no get money to dash abok1, na me & 6k dey show for that city, with my cards all join!!...

God go grant me favour, dem nor reach!!

obeezydabs:
Hahaha. Thanks dear. All the $300 daily limit and money order problems made me do it. Cant shout.

Babe, thanks for adding to my trauma about chicago & secondary POE.. , will just feign a fainting spell if dem wahala too much!!!

If not for free board,occassional chauffeur, familiar faces & having locked down ticket & healthcare provider ages ago, I would have just made a U-turn to houston or phoenix!!

Na Psalm I go dey invoke on their heads..


@Happymum,
I have both GT & Fidelity cards & the GT card has been decommissioned since they've decided to price themselves out of the reach of the average Nigerian... Fidelity too is gradually getting on my nerves as well.

FBN should be ok, but I'm doing stanbic.

Happymum:
Please can I buy euros and convert to dollars when I arrive us or uk? I have been able to get 9400dols but still need more and I am scared dollar price may go up else would love to just go with my gtb and fidelity bank cards. Please advice me

Won't the cross rates kill whatever advantage you get now?

Is your medical bills all CASH like my yeye chicago to compound the scary poe stories.

9,400 cash should take care of your bills I believe & CBN did a 5kobo adjustment yesterday so I'm a bit relaxed that the rate will behave till july/august cos this current 197-1999 band has been steady since Feb..

But I'll deny if the rate na deception.

Hello,
Has anyone successfully used a mastercard to purchase MONEY ORDER in the US, most especially after the recent $300 limit?

Thanks.

doctokwus:
It was a poorly scripted drama as far as I am concerned.
There is no where in the world a security agency sets out to arrest somebody and allows d culprit to sit in his toilet for 6 good days while they are in the sitting room probably enjoying his cognac and champagne.
For all I know Kashamu and the agents where probably playing 'ludo' or 'whot' game together over vodka while laughing at how gullible Nigerians can be to any story thrown at them!

God bless you!! Like I have maintained, this extradition was deliberately bungled but NDLEA had to put up a front!! Why go to his residence without an arrest warrant

Bode George's wife Roli is the head honcho for goodness sake & Buruji is Jona's guy!!!

MGeey:
Rejoice with me as my prince arrived at 9:42pm yesterday weighing 3.7kg. Birth story later.

Congrats babe, God be with you,baby& his pa.

Beremx:
I am 7weeks already. You know,I have had a miscarriage before and lost a 5years old son. I pray nothing happens to my pregnancy.
Sorry,I didn't know you are female.

Awwhhh.. E-hug sis, didn't know your story beyond you & saTANists always having a go at it. Nothing will happen to you,banish that thought. God will keep you & your LO, we'll all rejoice with you when you share your easy BSt.

Is this your first experience with nvp?

I'm female & a veteran of a few belle like you, don't mind the user name,you need to see the nos of dudes & bros it attracts before the usual abuses & curses by TANoids.

Beremx:
I applied cotrimazole insertion tablets and it reduced a little. I think the itching is caused by pregnancy hormones. I am also having heavy discharge which I feel its normal.
I can't wait for the first trimester to be over lemme be my normal self.

If you re read my 1st response to you, you'd see I answered in the affirmative... Hormonal changes in pregnancy causes the vjay PH to change so one experiences heavier discharges & V.itching... I've always used canesten cream anytime it starts & it clears up within 3 days even if it will reappear after a few weeks.

How many weeks are you?

Beremx:
Hello ladies.

Please how can I control spitting? I have tried chewing bitter kola thinking it can be controlled but all to no avail.

Again,I am having this mild itching whenever I pee. Is it normal? I haven't started ante-natal anyway.

I am in my first trimester though. I can't just stand the morning sickness. Gosh!!

Welcome, how body?I'm going to politics now to summon the tanoids!!

For the spitting, there is almost little you can do about it, but to ride out the wave.Brushing 3x (or more) has been covered so all you can do is to discreetly find a way to spit out cos trying to swallow most often than not triggers a vomiting session.

As for the coochie itching, its most likely caused by V.ph changes caused by preggy hormones, get original canesten & apply 2-3x daily and within 3 days it should clear up.

Bad belle old mofos!!! Balarabe musa (North) Falae & braitwaite (SW) & Ogbonna (SE) just to give a false nationalistic outlook to their bellyaching.

CAA or whatever it is they are called,is a collection of hungry beggars, shishi this govt will not give them.

How is PMB supposed to wage an effective war against BH if he doesnt seek the cooperation of our next door neighbours that we share borders with!!

Is he supposed to be making enemies or what? The west with their superpowers still have alliances!!

Amnesty international is/are high on contaminated weed, BH has a right to decimate Nigerians but Nigerian military had no right to retaliate. . Issokay

You don't wage war against a people and expect fairness and justice... war is not a clean transaction!!!!

....

This people thought its possible to go through an election cycle with everyone maintaing the status quo?

Otherwise provision would have been made with just the numbers left to chance, even if there was no tsunami of the PDP machinery, did they believe there would have been no single casualty ?

No Vacancy in Aso Rock,PDP is to big to be defeated & APC will be in crisis after the state and presidential primaries were the mind set PDP members were working with.

Within five days, without any prompting from the new govt, the right procedure is being put forward...

shimk:
it is o. am confused sef.

Where ur cards mc' s or visa's?

Seen & waiting.....

shimk:

Any love in this union is solely on Oshiomhle's part, for Iara there are 2 Things.

1.Counting down to getting pregnant to seal her place in Oshio Baba's dynasty.

2.There is no way this lady had her V.card intact when she met Oshio Baba. Impossicant!

Hymen reconstruction surgery tinz!!

Nogen:
@modath, doublefavour doesn't need to go to court. What she needs is a letter from a lawyer telling him to release all her medical records with immediate effect or face the medical board. It's her right not a privilege! There were tests and scans she did in her first and 2nd trimesters, how will a Matron produce them?


If you are based in Lagos, just pm me, we will take it from there. It seems your doctor wants to lose his licence.

Babe, you'll notice I put "if your dr refuses to see reason" cos if his head really nor correct, he may disregard her request,keep her hanging and waste her time..

He is aware he has zero right to hold on to her records but is overstepping his boundary cos he knows how our legal system works.

Getting her records is of course the sane thing, my advise is a plan b in case. you understand?

**The result won't be produced by the matron, definitely not,! she'll do all necessary tests, do scan & even see consultant ob gyn sef and admin dept will prepare her records. These matrons are like institutions in these hospitals and can get things done with a snap in record time.**
