6% WV sales tax, no county sales tax. Approx .5% county property tax. The big one though is 6% state income tax.

Escambia County, Fl. is 7.5%

0% Sales Tax in NH....And 0% Income Tax as well!

Live Free or Die!

Weird, does that mean only people who own land pay taxes?

No, there are 'some' other taxes...

NH does does have a 'Room & Meals' tax of 9%, and a tax on Motor Vehicle Rentals at 9% as well. Tourism is a big part of the NH economy!

We also pay a property tax (excise tax w/ annual depreciation) on Motor Vehicles to the local town w/ annual MV registration.

'Interest & Dividends' over $4800 (joint filers) are also taxed. The rate is 5%, but the majority don't pay that tax, and no return is filed unless it applies to you. Interest & Dividends on US Treasury Bills, Notes & Bonds, and US Treasury Mutual Funds are NOT taxable.

The minimum combined 2020 sales tax rate for Saint Louis, Missouri is 9.68%. This is the total of state, county and city sales tax rates. The Missouri sales tax rate is currently 4.23%. The Saint Louis sales tax rate is 5.45%.
Then there are "special taxing districts" where developers are allowed to charge even more.
In some areas it's up to about 11%
It's out of control.

It's just as bad across the Meramec river, in Arnold, MO:
Sales Tax Breakdown
District Rate
Missouri State 4.225%
Jefferson County 2.125%
Arnold 4.000%
Total 10.350%

Greenville S.C.: '0%"

that does not mean you need to even think about moving here!

 
AZ state and county (Yavapai) is 6.35%. Add city of Wickenburg at 2.2% and we total out at 8.55%.

The state sales tax rate in Texas is 6.250%. With local (county/city) taxes, the total sales tax rate is between 6.250% and 8.250%.

Dallas/Ft.Worth area is 8.25%

7% sales tax in Indiana. I live on the Kentucky border and 6% there. Our county has a 3% innkeeper's tax in addition to sales tax but no other add-ons as far as I know.

I'm just west of Chellim1, and our total tax rate here is 6.975% after a recent increase.

Those shopping at Bass Pro or Cabela's will experience that.

A relative is running for local office and just posted a video on Facebook yesterday. There is a new development in Wentzville, AND as part of that they have set the tax rate higher on an existing development across the street.

- State tax: 6.50%
- County tax: 1.25%
- City tax: 1.375%
- Total tax: 9.125%

Not really a lower cost of living available in a state that most people outside the state think of as being backwards and poor, but our property taxes are quite reasonable compared to places like Virginia and Wisconsin.

In Virginia the state sales tax is 4.3% and counties are allowed to add 1.0% which virtually all do so in total it is 5.3%

unless you live in NOVA or Tidewater, then the rate is 6%

I served 2 years north of Concord in the late 60's.
The State has a lock on liquor -- Only can be purchased at State Liquor Outlets. All the profit, taxes go to the State.
It provides plenty of $$ --unless and until the liberals push for their Special Programs

0.0% sales tax in all of Montana. Property taxes about 0.8% of the home's market value in Lake County

Yep - 0% in Montana. We are at about 0.6% on real estate in Flathead County. Maximum State Income Tax rate is 6.9%. This kicks in at under $20,000 but Montanans are allowed to 'File Separately on the Same Form' to save a few dollars. A few cities have local option taxes.

Florida state sales tax is 6%.

Counties have the discretion of adding some, I believe the legal cap on this is 1.5%.

0.5% or 1% is pretty typical.

Couple years ago, when the county I live in (Seminole) had a 0% add-on, the idiots voted for 1%, the stated reason was to improve tourist facilities. Morons. Seminole county is on the north side of Orlando. Virtually all of the tourist draw is to the south side, known as the"attractions area," with Disney, Universal, Sea World, International Drive, etc. The 1% county tax here will accomplish nothing for tourism, and will insure that since I live within walking distance of the county line, I will make every attempt to buy whatever I need in neighboring Orange County, and spend as little as possible in Seminole.

0% sales tax here in Oregon, but state income tax is brutal. PERS is killing us.

Tony.

7% (Hamilton County OH)


I've never voted for a increase, but I am this year. Cincinnati voted on an earnings tax decrease of .3% in 2019 which passed. It only goes into effect if a .8% sales tax increase passes this month. This will put $$$ in my pocket since the only things I buy local are fuel and perishables.

Sales tax in Minneapolis, MN, USA
State Tax Rate: 6.875%
State-wide Local Rate Range: 6.875% - 8.875%
State Change Date: 1/1/2020
City Total Rate: 8.025%

6%

Depends where purchase is made 6.25% to 11% in Illinois. Do not go to the 11% Costco to make big purchases. But cars are based on where you live. So if I buy a car in Chicago, I pay my suburban county and city rate. Don't ask about hotel and rental cars.
