Why the rate here is not the whole story

Idaho's state sales tax is 6 percent and Idaho counties have no authority to levy a general sales tax at all, so this county's own rate is a confirmed zero. Idaho Code section 50-1044 gives the power to resort cities only, meaning a city of 10,000 or fewer people that derives the major portion of its economic well being from businesses catering to visitors, and section 50-1046 requires 60 percent voter approval before a city may adopt one. Section 50-1048 speaks of what would follow "in the event that counties are given local-option nonproperty tax authority", which is the legislature saying plainly that they have not been. 2 cities in Bonneville County are on the Tax Commission's list and only one reaches general merchandise. Swan Valley adds 1 percent to all sales subject to the Idaho Sales Tax Act that are not lodging or liquor by the drink, effective January 1, 2022, so the combined rate runs from 6 percent elsewhere in the county to 7 percent in Swan Valley. Irwin levies only a 3 percent room occupancy charge on short term rentals and taxes no merchandise at all. Idaho Falls sits in the Idaho Falls Auditorium District, which charges 5 percent on short term lodging. Lodging taxes are a different tax and are not included in these figures. Idaho does not exempt groceries. Food is taxed at the full 6 percent and residents instead claim a food tax credit on their Idaho income tax return, worth $155 per person for 2025 or up to $250 if receipts for sales tax paid on food are submitted, so a grocery receipt in Idaho carries tax that a shopper gets back once a year rather than at the register.
