Sales Tax by State
Sales taxes are imposed only on taxable transfers of property or services. Tax due is computed as the sales tax rate times the taxable transaction value. Rates vary by state, and by locality within a state. Sales tax is a transaction tax but not all types of transfers are taxable. The tax may be imposed on sales to consumers and to businesses. All states exempt certain types of goods from sales and use tax. Those states that tax services tax only certain services. Some states tax certain types of property rentals. Most transfers of intangible property are not subject to sales tax. Definitions become critical. Contact us to determine sales tax by State.
