For those of us who live and do our business in California the sales tax went up as of today. You can go to this website http://www.boe.ca.gov/news/pdf/l212b.pdf for a chart of the current rates.
 
P3 updated it for me. :) Gotta love CA! lol NOT!
 
It's just wrong to choose April 1 as a day to institute a tax increase. That ain't right.

I can think of 364 other days when it's just wrong, also...:p
 
You are a very wise woman, Becky.
 
Doh, I was wondering what the official increase was! :(
