I put in a supervent chimney in January and it has been great. I went with 8 and had to use 4 sections @ $95 a section bought at medards and had a local contractor install it for $200 cash. It ended up being under $800 with installation after buying the sections and the other connectors and black pipe.
The United States of America and its agencies and instrumentalities (also referred to as United States governmental entities) are also exempt from paying New York State sales tax on their purchases. Other states of the United States and their agencies and political subdivisions do not qualify for sales tax exemption.
Local governments get their taxes in different ways to pay to run the government. Almost all states have a sales tax that adds to most purchases. This money goes to the local government to help pay for services. Most states have an income tax as well. Another major tax is property tax.
