Why the rate here is not the whole story
Vermont's state sales tax is 6 percent and no Vermont county levies a sales tax. Under 24 V.S.A. section 138 the power to adopt a 1 percent local option sales tax is granted to municipalities only, so this county's 0 is a matter of law rather than a choice it made. No municipality in Caledonia County collects a local option sales tax, so every address in the county is at 6 percent today. That uniformity comes from no town here having voted the tax in, not from any county-level rule, and any town in the county could adopt it at a future quarter start and split the county into 6 and 7 percent halves. Vermont municipalities may separately adopt 1 percent local option taxes on meals, rooms and alcoholic beverages; those are different taxes and none of them is counted in this range. Clothing and most grocery food are exempt from Vermont sales tax outright, and local option tax rides on the same base, so an exempt item stays exempt in a local option town.
How do I find the exact rate for an address in Caledonia County?
