IPhone sale tax

I

iMore Question

AT&T has a deal with a swap of your old phone for the iPhone7 but a huge sales tax. Taxes on swaps have been around for a long time so shouldn't iPhones follow the same rule that the tax is on the difference in value?

No, tax is on the retail price of each iPhone and tax can't carry over. When you upgrade you are getting a new device that AT&T had to pay taxes on so they are just getting it back so to speak.
