Sales Taxes Across the U.S.

While there are 5 states that don’t impose any sales tax, all the other states and the District of Columbia do. What’s more, there are numerous localities with their own taxes, and this makes sales tax collection for businesses very complex. For example, Alaska doesn’t have a state sales tax, but some localities there have a sales tax as high as 7%. Avalara has a compilation of sales tax jurisdictions.
