Dear Oklahoma State Sales Tax People:
I do appreciate that you don't require vendors who are at a show in OK once a year to apply for a tax permit, and just allow them to calculate their taxes, give it to the promoter, and leave it at that.
However, I must take issue with your math skills, Oklahoma State Sales Tax People. When the sales tax rate is 8.517%, it is calculated by multiplying your sales total by .08517, not by multiplying your sales total by 8.517, as your form so helpfully and clearly states. I do not, in fact, owe several thousand dollars on my meager sales, but considerably less.
No love,

But if you really want to despair, I can go dig up the Youtube link for the person who went through three different support reps at their cell phone company, trying to explain that a download cost of .01 cent per kilobyte was NOT the same as a cost of 1 cent. I don't think they ever succeeded. None of the people seemed to really understand fractions.

(Also, I taunt you since I live in a state without sales tax.)
