History & Fun Facts
HISTORY

Idaho enacted its sales and use tax in 1965 and it was approved by the electorate during the 1966 election.

 

The original Idaho state sales tax rate was 3%, it has since climbed to 6% as of October 2006.
FUN FACTS
  • Several Idaho resort cities and three auditorium (community center that service public need and promote prosperity, security, and general welfare of the inhabitants of the district) districts have a local sales tax imposed in addition to the state sales tax. These local “option” taxes are decided by voters in the community.
