Frequently asked questions
What is the sales tax rate in Alaska?
There's no state rate. With local taxes, the combined rate runs from 0% to 7.85%.
Where is the sales tax highest in Alaska?
The highest combined rate is 7.85%, in part of Kenai Peninsula Borough. Rates that high usually come from a special district that covers a few addresses.
Why can the rate change from one street to the next?
Cities, counties, transit authorities and special districts each add their own tax, and their boundaries don't always line up. Pick the most specific place that matches the address, or check it with the state's lookup.
Is a big purchase taxed differently?
Yes. In Alaska some taxes apply only to part of the price of a single item. Choose "One item" and the calculator applies those limits.
Anything else to know about sales tax in Alaska?
Alaska has no state sales tax. Anchorage, Fairbanks and many other places have no local sales tax either. Several communities charge a higher rate in summer (April to September). Some cities tax only part of the price of a single item; those limits are included.
