Frequently Asked Questions
Why do sales tax rates vary by address?
Sales tax is a combination of state, county, city, and special district rates. Two addresses in the same city can have different total rates if they fall in different special taxing districts (transit, tourism, stadium, etc.).
Which state has the highest sales tax?
California has the highest base state rate at 7.25%. Combined with local taxes, rates in California can exceed 10.25%. Tennessee, Louisiana, and Arkansas also have high combined rates. Oregon, Montana, Delaware, and New Hampshire have no sales tax.
How often do sales tax rates change?
Rates can change quarterly as local jurisdictions add, remove, or modify special district taxes. States typically update rates 1-2 times per year. Businesses should verify rates regularly or use automated tax calculation services for compliance.
