We don't have VAT in the US and we don't track sales tax. This is from two sources. Immigrants that can use a tax ID number, and immigrants that cannot but still have taxes withheld from their paycheck. So the only effect is they can't get a refund.

Holy shit you guys have sales tax? Really living in the 1800's there.
