Iphone 3G S at $199 but taxed at $599?
So I just came back from a At&t store here in San Fernando CA and pre-ordered a iPhone G3 S 16GB. I had to pay up in front the $199 price. So in my mind I thought, "$199+9.25%= $217.40" but when they gave me the grand total it was $254.41? Eh? So I told them what gives? They tell me they have to tax me at the $599 price. So on my receipt it says
Subtotal: $199.00
Tax : 27.84%
Total : $254.41
So now I'm wondering did anyone else who lives in CA get taxed this way too.
