in Rural areas of Alaska there are no property taxes ..(which is most of Alaska).. Municipalities all have differant tax bases though.
Okay Google... Who are these people and why ain't they working?

Only for residents with low value (under $250k or so) properties. That pesky GET is a detriment to low income folks as it affects their food and rent.

Property taxes are way less here than in Washington State. But, that state has no income tax.

It's applied to every transaction, including intermediate wholesale transactions. (This isn't just a "taxation" issue, but also a "reporting/paperwork" issue.)
Worse, it applies to everything, including food, rent, prescriptions, medical care...

State with lowest property taxes
It would be nice if there was a chart that also compared services available for the property taxes paid. I pay half the property taxes my parents pay. My home is twice the size as theirs, my lot is 4-5 times larger. Although they pay higher taxes, they also receive:
* Nearby fire department (which lowers their insurance bill)
* Garbage pickup
* Appliance pickup
* Leaf pickup in the fall
* Police response in minutes
* Ambulance response in minutes
* Community hospitals nearby
* Wide paved roads
* Nearby parks with sports facilities, bike trails, walking trails along a scenic river
* More, more, more...

And......drum roll please......
It even applies to the tax! So there’s a GE tax ON the GE tax! That’s why you see that “extra” .1667% on your bill.

Correct: the Excise tax is applied to your business income. If you pass the 4% along to your customer, then you have to collect 4% of that 4%.
However: you're not required to pass the GET through, you can just pay it on "your" side of the transaction. I believe retailers would actually save money if they adjusted prices to cover their share of the GET instead of making their cashiers count pennies out of the cash drawer.
