US Sales Tax Rates

Sales tax rate changes by state

Updated October 26, 2026

US Sales Tax Rates monitors official sales tax rate changes for enrolled states. These notes name the agency, the publication, when the loaded chart takes effect, and how many jurisdictions changed. They do not calculate tax on a sale.

States with a loaded chart

Each link is a state whose loaded chart passed the public checks: the state's own tax agency, an official hub, a real retrieval day, and a publication label. A state that fails those checks is left off this list.

States with no general sales tax

Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon have no general sales tax chart. Each note quotes the agency statement and does not add a rate.

Calendar quarters and effective dates

A calendar quarter is a three-month window: January 1–March 31, April 1–June 30, July 1–September 30, and October 1–December 31.

A chart with a printed start and a printed end is in force while that window covers the Eastern Time calendar day and the period has started. A quarterly chart that prints a start and no end date stays the latest official chart. The note says the state publishes quarterly and that this is the latest file the agency has posted. A later loaded chart is upcoming until that day. It is not called in force. When the latest loaded window has a printed end that has passed and no later file is in the monitor, the prior period is named. The next quarter is not invented. An ended chart is not treated as in force.

A chart that is not quarterly, with a printed start and no printed end, stays current after that start until a newer official chart for the state replaces it. The date of the last official check does not change that. A chart with no printed start is a loaded publication and is not called in force.

Last verified is a retrieval day. It is not an effective date.

What a refresh checks

Each enrolled state is tied to its Department of Revenue, Commission, Comptroller, or the equivalent agency. A refresh reads that agency’s hub and the PDF, spreadsheet, CSV, text file, or HTML the hub links.

A refresh fails closed. A bad fetch, or a disagreement between official results, blocks the period. Nothing is estimated. Verified is when the official file was retrieved. Effective is the date the agency printed.

What these notes leave out

Full jurisdiction lists, workbooks, and direct rate-file addresses are not published here. A state note shows at most the first five changed rows, the same preview a visitor with no plan sees on the change tables. Every jurisdiction is on each state's rate chart. The sample report shows the shape of a change row. It is not a full chart.

Rate monitoring is not a tax calculation

US Sales Tax Rates does not calculate tax on a cart, invoice, ZIP code, or address, and it does not file returns. Rate monitoring reports the official publication and the date it takes effect.
