Which states have no sales tax?
Five states have no state-level sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. However, Alaska allows local jurisdictions to impose their own sales taxes, so some areas within Alaska do charge sales tax. Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon have no sales tax at any level.
What is the average combined sales tax rate?
The average combined state and local sales tax rate in the United States is approximately 6.6%. However, rates vary significantly by state and locality. Louisiana has the highest average combined rate at around 9.55%, while states like Alaska and Hawaii have among the lowest combined rates.
What is use tax?
Use tax is a complementary tax to sales tax, applied when sales tax was not collected at the point of sale. It typically applies to purchases made from out-of-state retailers, online purchases where tax was not charged, or items brought into the state from a tax-free jurisdiction. The use tax rate is usually the same as the sales tax rate.
Do I charge sales tax on services?
It depends on the state. Most states primarily tax tangible personal property, but many also tax certain services. States like Hawaii, New Mexico, and South Dakota tax most services. Others only tax specific services like telecommunications, dry cleaning, or repair services. Check your state's specific rules for service taxability.
