Sales Tax Rates by State

The following chart lists the standard state level sales and use tax rates.

Many states allow non-standard rates on many items including meals, lodging, telecommunications and specific items and services. These rates are not represented in this chart. The range of local taxes is also included as a quick reference. This can be used to determine the combined state and local tax rate maximums and minimums. However, for accurate tax calculation, the specific jurisdiction tax rate should be used. The information concerning local use tax rates can be used to determine whether the use tax also applies to local taxes. If this column contains a “YES”, then local taxes apply to both intra-state and inter-state transactions. If this column contains a “NO”, then local taxes only apply to intra-state transactions. Please refer to the footnotes, as they are an integral part of this chart. Sales and use tax rates change on a monthly basis. This chart is for informational purposes only. Specific questions should be addressed to your tax advisor. Rate information is gathered from various State Department of Revenue materials and various rate providers including Thomson, Sabrix and Vertex, Inc.
