Understanding US Sales Tax

Sales tax in the United States varies by state and locality. Unlike the EU's VAT system, US sales tax is applied only at the point of sale to the end consumer. States set their own base rates, and counties, cities, and special districts can add additional taxes.

States with No Sales Tax

Five states have no state-level sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. However, Alaska allows local jurisdictions to impose sales taxes.
