In some places the state/city sales tax rate can fluctuate. That means they would have to reprint and replace every label in the entire store.
How often do these rates actually change?
Highly variable depending on where you are. Often the next town over will have a different sales tax. There's a state sales tax rate, which differs state to state, then there is a county/town sales tax added to that, which will vary within the state itself.
It varies from place to place. In the city I used to live in the sales tax would also change when there were special municipal projects that needed funding, like a stupid ass arena...
That still doesn't answer the question.
How many times did it change for you? Every month? Every week? Every day? Every hour? Every minute?
Basically yearly. Sometimes middle.of the year.if they need special project funding
Or absorb the fluctuations for a while and reprint labels less frequently. These days things are getting e-ink labels anyway.
Most companies try to squeeze every penny they can from you; they aren't gonna absorb anything. That's why the common people pay sales tax anyway, instead of the companies that sell the product!
