Where is sales tax highest?

The highest combined rate in this dataset is in St. Louis County, Missouri, reaching 13.238% on a 4.225% state rate. A rate like that is stacked locally rather than set by the state, which is why two addresses a few miles apart can pay different amounts.

Which states have no sales tax?

5 states levy no general state sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon. That is not the same as paying nothing. In 4 of them (Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon) there is no general sales tax at any level. In the 1 remaining, local governments may levy one even though the state does not, so a city or borough there can charge sales tax while the state charges none.

How this differs from property tax

Sales tax is charged on what you buy; property tax is charged annually on what you own. They are set by different bodies and change on different schedules, so a county with high sales tax is not necessarily a county with high property tax. For the other one, see property tax by county.

To work out the tax on a specific purchase, use the sales tax calculator. If you sell into a state rather than buy in one, the question is whether you have to collect at all: see the sales tax economic nexus checker.
