Sales Taxes are governed by what body?

  1. Federal law

  2. State law

  3. County law

  4. City ordinances

The correct answer is: State law

Sales taxes are typically governed at the state level, as each state has the authority to determine the rate and application of their own sales tax. While federal law may have some regulations and requirements regarding sales taxes, it is ultimately up to each state to enforce and collect them. County law and city ordinances may also have some influence over sales taxes within their specific jurisdiction, but the primary governing body is the state. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
