#1 RICK MONDAY SAVES THE AMERICAN FLAG


As we celebrate our nation’s independence, we thought it would be fitting to reprise a BLOG that our late co-founder, Ted Miller, wrote.  Ted loved America and he also loved baseball, and his words still hold special meaning for those of us privileged to have known him.  We at MillerClapperton hope you had a safe and happy 4th of July.

#3 SALES TAX RATES


Each state, county, and city has different sales tax rates and methods of reporting these rates. Here at MillerClapperton, we use the WWW.SALE-TAX.COM site on a daily basis when determining the proper tax rate for our estimates. This online tool offers the quickest, easiest, and most up-to-date sales tax rates available for each city. 

With the Sales Tax Calculator and Sales Tax Tables, you can calculate the total purchase price or generate a table of sales tax due for various prices.
