It's official, Mass. sales tax is going up on August 1st from 5% to 6.25% on most purchases. So if you've got any big purchases coming up, you should make them before August 1st. And stock up on alcohol too, since that is going to be taxed now.

The sales tax will apply, for the first time, to alcohol. Residents will see the rise from 5 percent to 6.25 percent on restaurants and satellite TV bills as well as other purchases, except food and clothing.
The budget gives municipalities the option of taking the meals tax up to 7 percent, and boosting their local hotel and motel taxes by 2 percent.
