The US does not have a national sales tax or VAT. Every state has their own tax, and some don't even have one.
Even within a state, sales taxes can vary at the county and municipality level.
To tell an American the full price plus tax they will pay for something, you need to know where they live. For expensive items like computers and phones, the price could vary by tens or hundreds of dollars.
