Restaurants & franchises
See which general sales tax rate changed at a location.
When a county or city rate moves, the store still has to charge the new general rate on the effective date and keep the official chart. This page is for that job.
Not a calculator. Not filing. Not a giant rate table.
What you use the report for
A franchise group or a multi-unit operator needs the jurisdiction, the previous rate, the current rate, the effective date, and the official source. The Rate Change Report is that list for the enrolled states you watch.
Match the jurisdiction on the report to the location, then update the general sales and use rate in the point of sale. Guides for Toast and Restaurant365 walk through that update. US Sales Tax Rates does not connect to either system.
Meals and specialty taxes are outside this product
We do not calculate meals tax, prepared-food tax, alcohol tax, or other specialty taxes. We do not compute a guest check. General sales and use rate monitoring from official charts is the product. If a state prints a meals or specialty tax on a different schedule, that figure is not supplied here.

Start monitoring
Monitoring is paid. The sample Rate Change Report is an excerpt from loaded official charts, not a personalized watchlist.
