I live in NY.
Ordered 2 jackets online from a national department store, in one order.
One cost about $80 and had no tax added.
One cost about $140 and had sales tax added.
Why?

Disappointing because I thought the more expensive one was nice enough to be worth it, but after adding tax the difference is bigger.

Clothing items less than $110 are not subject to sales tax.

There is no sales tax on an item of clothing or footwear that costs less than $110. An item of clothing or footwear that costs $110 or more is subject to the full 8.875% tax rate.

Oh. Darn.
Thanks for explaining, I knew I must be missing something.
Too bad I have expensive taste. I wasn't able to find what I was looking for for less.
