I’ve been trying to figure out what the sales tax in Texas actually is, but I keep seeing different numbers depending on the city or county. I know there’s a statewide base rate, but it seems like local taxes can raise it higher.
In Texas, the base state sales tax rate is 6.25 %. Local cities or counties can add up to 2 %, so the total sales tax can range from 6.25 % to 8.25 % depending on your location
The sales tax imposed by Texas is 6.25 percent across the whole state with an addition of 2 percent by local authorities thus resulting in a high tax rate of 8.25 percent in different cities and counties.
Texas has a statewide base sales tax rate of 6.25%. Local jurisdictions (cities, counties, transit, special-purpose) may add up to 2%, making the total maximum sales tax rate 8.25%.
