I am trying to buy Apple Watch online and deliver it to Tampa, Florida.
While checking out, I see an extra Tax of almost 7% gets added to my total amount.
Why am I being charged this tax whether I select store pick up or Home Delivery (it says free delivery) ??
Tampa, FL has a 7.5% sales tax:

Sales tax (collected by the government, usually state and/or local) is not the same thing as a delivery fee.
in usa sales tax is never included in the shown price they add it after, that is likely what you see

Consider yourself lucky at 7%. Here in UK our sales tax (VAT) is 20%
That's the healthcare service where my paramedic niece has spent all day parked outside the hospital, caring for the patient the previous ambulance crew picked up, but there is no room in the hospital. It is in total meltdown.
Going way off track (and probably will get removed but that's okay). Healthcare is challenging. In the U.S., it's rationed by ability to pay. Lots of people don't get preventive care and end up with far more serious conditions. My parents lived in Canada for the last thirty years of their lives. The healthcare was great, up to and including end-of-life care. But the dental care is so bad that people I know have gotten gift certificates for full mouth extraction and dentures as wedding presents. All things considered, I think I'd rather have your bad system then our bad system.

Consider yourself lucky. I believe some of that VAT goes to healthcare. ;-)
Why is there extra tax while placing online order?
