    Tax rates vary, but 100% tax would be more than anyplace really has. Question the invoice.

    For the US, nothing, for states and local jurisdictions, it varies. It is never 100% so something is wrong with your bill.

    It is from zero to 10 percent ..max-would be 140.00 plus 14.00-

    I think you were double billed but not taxed...

    unless it was a car rental...........
