What state has the cheapest sales tax?

[niyati]

I’m looking into cost-of-living differences across states and was curious—which state has the cheapest or lowest sales tax in the U.S.? Are there any states with no sales tax at all? Also, how much does it impact day-to-day expenses? Appreciate any insights or recent data!

Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon are the states with no statewide sales tax. However, among those with sales tax, Wyoming has the lowest average rate, at 4%. States like Alaska also have no statewide sales tax, but some local areas may impose one. Always check local tax rates.

Five states currently have no statewide sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. However, some of these may have local sales taxes.

The states with the cheapest sales tax are Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon, all of which have 0% sales tax. Alaska also has no statewide sales tax but allows local taxes, making its average combined rate around 1.8%, which is still among the lowest in the country.

Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon are the five states in the United States without a statewide sales tax. It's worth noting, though, that several of these states, such as Alaska, allow local governments to levy their own sales taxes. This implies that while the state tax is nil, you may still pay a local sales tax, depending on where you are.
