It seems that Nikon has a secret new promotion called “We pay your sales tax” – they will pay the sales tax for you when you buy new Nikon gear from B&H. I am not sure what the details, but you can try to add a Nikon product to your cart at B&H and see if you will qualify.

Update: the new Nikon sales tax promo is now official at B&H:

New Nikon 16-80mm f/2.8-3.5 DX lens also rumored for this summer

By [NR] admin | Published: June 15, 2015

In addition to refreshing the 500mm f/4 and 600mm f/4 lenses this summer, Nikon may also introduce a new Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8-3.5 DX lens (or f/2.8-4) for APS-C DSLR cameras. The new lens is supposed to be a replacement for the Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G DX ED VR (currently $200 off) but it will have a different hood – it will be more square than round.

A patent for a Nikkor 16-85mm f/4 DX VR lens was filed back in 2012.
