Changes

The jurisdictions that changed on this District of Columbia chart are included with a plan.

The Sales and Use Tax FAQ, the Taxable and Non-Taxable Services page, and the FR-800 MQA booklet print a 6% general sales and use tax. The scheduled increase is not applied.

The Taxable and Non-Taxable Services page prints a later general rate of 7% beginning October 1, 2027. The October 1, 2025 tax changes notice prints a later general rate of 7% beginning Oct. 1, 2026. Those dates do not agree, so the later rate is not applied.

Confidence: Low

Accuracy warning

Scheduled increase under review. The OTR Taxable page prints 7% beginning October 1, 2027. Act 26-416 inserts 7% beginning October 1, 2027. Compiled D.C. Code sections 47-2002 and 47-2202 print 7% beginning October 1, 2026. The Oct. 1, 2025 OTR notice prints 7% beginning Oct. 1, 2026. We publish the current general rate only until those official sources agree. The scheduled increase is not applied.

What the type letters mean

Labels are taken from the legend printed on this chart. A letter names a tax the chart says is part of the jurisdiction rate. It is not a separate percentage.
