This 99 cents store has been charging me and all it''s consumers 10% tax since it''s been here. I live in a mostly hispanic neighborhood and they are taking advantage of it''s population. I confronted the cashier woman regarding this. I bought an item for 2,00 she then told me after tax it is 2.20. I asked her is tax 10%, she replied by telling me it was only "pennies" difference and gave me the correct change. This has been going on for years, is this a valid claim? Do i have chances winning a lawsuit of such? if so, where and how do i begin?
You can report it to the New York State sales tax department. But you have no case that matters. What are you going to sue for? Pennies. What is the point.
