Heh...that's funny. If you smoke cigarettes you'll pay more tax in NV and WA
than in California. Both WA and NV charge lower sales taxes than CA, but WA
charges taxes on both goods AND services, which can be quite substantial. For
instance, a car repair might cost $100 in parts but $600 in labor. In CA the
labor isn't taxed.
Property taxes: Interesting note here. WA is willing to defer some or all
property taxes to the elderly, BUT they will then put a lien against the
property so that the person can't leave the property free and clear to anyone
without first paying off the property tax lien.
In CA the property tax is limited to 1% of assessed valuation, which can never
be more than market value. Neither WA nor NV had any limit on how high
property taxes can go relative to assessed valuation.
Good luck in finding that retirement bargain...
