Some states don't have sales tax.

Not only that, but even on the same street you could have varying sales tax from the store 100ft down the road because you are on the border of a city/municipality that has their own tax applied.

There really is no good alternative than to just omit tax and have the customer expect 5-7% typically.

Ok.

Some states have higher sales tax also.

NAXALT (not all X are like that) isn't really a useful comment.

It's better to identify differences between the general case and the exceptions, and the reasons for them, than simply to say exceptions exist.
