Sales tax
Sales tax in the US varies by state, county and city, and some states tax vehicles differently from other goods. In Dealer Garage you enter the tax names and rates for your location under Deal and Taxation in Settings, and the deal builder applies them. Confirm what applies with your state's revenue department or an accountant.
