What is the Tennessee tax rate for sales tax?

Asked 2 years ago
The sales tax rate in Tennessee is comprised of a base state rate and any applicable local rates. As of the latest information available, the base state sales tax rate is seven percent. Additionally, local jurisdictions can impose their own sales taxes, which can vary by county or city. These local sales tax rates can range anywhere from one to 2.75 percent. Therefore, the total sales tax rate that consumers see at the register can be as high as nine and three-quarters percent in certain areas. It is important for both consumers and businesses to be aware of the specific rates that apply in their location. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding sales tax rates, it is advisable to check the official Tennessee Department of Revenue website, where detailed information on tax rates can be found.
