I’ve heard that some U.S. states don’t have a sales tax, but I’m not sure which ones. Can someone provide a list of states with no sales tax and explain how this affects consumers and businesses in those states?

Other states like Oregon, Montana, New Hampshire, and Alaska have no state sales tax but may allow limited local taxes.
Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon are the five U.S. states that do not levy a statewide sales tax. Individual municipalities may charge local sales tax in some areas, and property and income taxes may be higher in these states to offset the revenue loss.
