Why the rate here is not the whole story

Tennessee taxes general merchandise at a state rate of 7 percent and Sequatchie County levies the local option sales and use tax at 2.25 percent, so the rate in the unincorporated county is 9.25 percent. Any incorporated city may levy the same tax by ordinance up to the statewide local cap of 2.75 percent, and a city rate replaces the county rate inside the city limits instead of stacking on it, so the combined rate here runs from 9.25 percent in the unincorporated county up to 9.75 percent in Dunlap. Food and food ingredients are taxed at a reduced state rate of 4 percent instead of 7 percent, with the same local rate on top, so the figures here are the general merchandise rate. The local part of the tax applies only to the first $1,600 of the price of a single article of tangible personal property, and a separate state single article tax of 2.75 percent applies to the part of the price between $1,600 and $3,200.
