I really hope the OP has PM'd @Spacefruit to thank him for his detailed assessment because there has been no public acknowledgement for the assistance 😉

Done !

I think that California's state sales tax is actually closer to 7%, but obviously various jurisdictions have additional taxes. How much does eBay charge you? Check it out for yourself.

I live in the Los Angeles area and ebay charges 9.5%, I just checked a previous purchase.

Four states - Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon - have no statewide sales tax, or local sales taxes, either.
Explains why a lot of Californians have moved up to Oregon.

Well, it's still a small amount compared to typical VAT. Just very complicated due to the US emphasis on local government.

Wasn't there also extra taxation applicable on sugar and alcohol in Sweden?

You might mix Sweden with Norway
I think we are “best in class” when it comes to taxes in tobacco, alcohol and general vat (25%)

In the UK we pay duty on the alcohol content and then VAT on top -- and that includes VAT on the duty!

So for the Aussie bottle of wine I've just opened ~48% of the price is "tax". For a bottle of The Glenlivet whisky total tax is ~39% of the price. Almost makes me want to give up drink 🙄
