How sales tax works in Connecticut
Connecticut levies a single statewide 6.35% rate with no local sales taxes, so the rate is the same everywhere in the state. Certain goods carry different rates — for example a 7.75% luxury rate on expensive vehicles, jewellery and clothing over a threshold.
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 Connecticut department of revenue or a rate lookup by ZIP code before relying on it.
