Why the rate here is not the whole story
Alaska levies no state sales tax and this census area, the largest in the state, is part of the Unorganized Borough, so only cities levy. Fort Yukon and Nenana charge 4 percent, Galena 3 percent and Tanana 2 percent. Every other city in the area, including McGrath, Huslia, Kaltag and Ruby, and all unincorporated land, charge nothing.
