Sales tax is a state- and local-level tax charged on the sale of taxable goods and services. Businesses collect sales tax from customers at checkout and remit it to the appropriate tax authority based on where the transaction occurs.
To calculate sales tax, multiply the purchase price by the applicable sales tax rate (state + local).
Example: A $100 purchase with a 7% tax rate equals $7 in sales tax, for a total of $107.
Sales tax rates vary by state and local jurisdiction. State rates range from 0% to over 7%, and local taxes can add several percentage points. Most combined rates fall between 6% and 9%, depending on location.
Five states have no statewide sales tax:
• Alaska
• Delaware
• Montana
• New Hampshire
• Oregon
However, Alaska allows local sales taxes, so rates may still apply in certain cities.
No. Oregon does not impose a statewide or local sales tax. Purchases made in Oregon are generally not subject to sales tax, which makes it a popular destination for tax-free shopping.
Florida has a 6% statewide sales tax. Counties may add a local surtax ranging from 0.5% to 2.5%, bringing the total rate to between 6.5% and 8.5%, depending on the county.
Texas has a 6.25% state sales tax. Local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, making the maximum combined sales tax rate 8.25% in many Texas cities and counties.
California’s base state sales tax rate is 7.25%, the highest statewide rate in the U.S. Local district taxes can increase the total rate to over 10% in some cities and counties.
New Jersey’s statewide sales tax rate is 6.625%. The rate applies uniformly across the state, with limited local variation and specific exemptions for essential items.
Sometimes. B2B transactions are taxable unless an exemption applies, such as resale or manufacturing use. Buyers must provide a valid exemption or resale certificate to avoid being charged sales tax.
