States with No Sales Tax
Why Sales Tax Rates Vary
Sales tax in the United States is levied at both the state and local level. While state base rates provide a starting point, the actual rate a customer pays depends on county, city, and special district taxes at the point of sale or delivery.
This complexity means that a single ZIP code can contain multiple tax jurisdictions with different rates. For businesses selling across state lines, maintaining accurate rates requires continuous monitoring of thousands of jurisdictions.
The SalesTaxAPI handles this complexity by providing real-time, jurisdiction-level rates via a simple REST API, updated daily from official government sources.
