A State Sales Tax Table along with a State Sales Tax Chart are two of the best ways we think we can show you how much EXTRA money you are paying State Governments in TAXES with every taxable purchase you make -- in all 50 States.
To ensure this information is as accurate as possible, we have checked all of the State Revenue Department websites to provide the Sales Tax percentage that each State tacks on to your taxable purchases.
So, keep in mind that the percentages you see below are ONLY the State level Sales Tax percentages.
It's important to remember that a lot of folks have their hand out and want some of your money! Thus many of those "Local" varmits (localities) are authorized by their States to tack on an additional percentage for themselves also.
Heck, why not gauge the consumer anyway possible!
As stated above, the source of this information is the State Revenue Departments of each of the 50 States.

The Chart below also shows ONLY the rates for each State -- WITHOUT -- showing the "Local" taxes that Local Jurisdictions pile on also.
This can help you see at a glance which states are the most greedy.
Remember, Gordon Gekko said GREED IS GOOD, right?
