New York: Bagel Tax
New York residents might want to switch to toast for breakfast. Any bagel that has been sliced or prepared with toppings, like cream cheese or lox, is subject to an 8.875 percent sales tax. If it’s whole or sliced without toppings or spread, however, you can eat it tax-free — unless, that is, you eat it while you’re still in the store; then you’ll also be charged tax.
