What cities have the highest sales tax?
While the highest state-level sales tax in the USA is 7%, thousands of municipal governments (including cities and counties) charge an additional local-option sales tax on top of the state rate. This means that some cities have tax rates that can be significantly higher than their state's sales tax rate.
This table lists cities and towns with the highest sales tax rates in the United States. Arkansas accounts for the majority of the top-ten highest taxed cities in the USA, with many cities collecting combined state and local sales taxes of 11% or more. Other states with cities in the top-50 include Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, and Oklahoma.
