How sales tax works in Arizona
Arizona calls its sales tax a "transaction privilege tax" levied on the seller, though it is passed to buyers like a normal sales tax. The 5.6% state rate is topped by county and city rates, pushing the combined rate above 8% in most of the state and over 10% in a few cities.
Rates are approximate and current as of the 2024–2025 tax years. Local rates change and vary by address; confirm the exact figure with the Arizona department of revenue or a rate lookup by ZIP code before relying on it.
