Frequently Asked Questions, Sales Tax Calculator in Arizona

What is the Arizona sales tax rate?

Arizona's state transaction privilege tax (TPT) rate is 5.6%. Cities and counties add their own taxes on top. Phoenix has a combined rate of 8.6%. Scottsdale is 8.05%. Tucson is 8.7%.

What is Arizona's Transaction Privilege Tax and how is it different from sales tax?

Arizona's TPT (transaction privilege tax) is similar to a sales tax but is technically a tax on the privilege of doing business in Arizona, not on the buyer. In practice, businesses pass the cost on to consumers, so it functions like sales tax from the buyer's perspective. The key difference is that the TPT is legally the seller's obligation.

What is exempt from Arizona TPT?

Arizona exempts prescription drugs, most food for home consumption (groceries), and certain medical equipment from TPT. Restaurant meals and prepared food are taxable. Arizona also provides exemptions for items used in manufacturing, mining, and agriculture.
