- Groceries and prescription drugs are exempt or taxed at a lower rate in most states. A blended rate over-taxes those categories. Use it for general merchandise.
- Clothing rules vary sharply. Pennsylvania and New Jersey exempt most clothing; Massachusetts exempts clothing up to $175 per item; New York exempts items under $110. Check your state before assuming apparel is taxed.
