Say that you are about to make a major purchase and would like to save money on sales tax. Which of these is a viable way to reduce the amount you will pay on sales tax?

Sales tax rates differ among states, so buying the item in a state with a lower sales tax rate can reduce the tax you pay. Claiming dependents does not reduce sales tax, and businesses do not charge a standard 1% fee just for calculating it. Paying by credit card also does not transfer responsibility for the sales tax to the credit bureau.
