The "Tax 10" on a Walmart receipt typically refers to a specific sales tax classification code used by Walmart to denote the type of tax applied to certain items. Walmart categorizes taxes such as:
- Tax 1: General Merchandise Rate
- Tax 2: Food Rate
- Tax 4: Prepared Food Rate
- Tax 6: Wine Rate
- Tax 7: Beer Rate
While "Tax 10" isn't among the commonly listed codes, it is likely a distinct tax rate or code Walmart uses for particular items or a jurisdiction, possibly related to local or additional taxes. These tax codes are part of Walmart’s system that automates applying the correct tax rate based on the product category and location. Each state and sometimes counties or cities have different rules and tax rates, and Walmart adjusts the tax codes on receipts accordingly to reflect these variances. This is why you might see multiple different tax lines or codes on your receipt. If you want to understand why "Tax 10" specifically appears on your receipt, it would be best to check the detailed tax information for your state or local tax jurisdiction or ask Walmart customer service for clarification on that specific tax code on your receipt. In brief, "Tax 10" is a Walmart internal tax classification code representing the sales tax applied to a specific item or group of items according to local tax laws and Walmart’s tax system.
