Range of Local Rates Column: included as a quick reference 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.

Local Rates Apply to Use Tax Column: local use tax rates can be used to determine whether the use tax also applies to local taxes (“YES” means local taxes apply to both intra-state and inter-state transactions and “NO” means local taxes only apply to intra-state transactions).

Note: Non-standard rates are not represented in this chart (meals, lodging, telecommunications and specific items and services).
