What is the Idaho sales tax rate?↓
Idaho has a 6% state sales tax. Resort cities and auditorium districts can add a Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) of up to 3%, bringing combined rates to as high as 9%. Sun Valley, Ketchum, and McCall use this option for tourism-funded services. Boise, Idaho Falls, and most other Idaho cities do not have local sales taxes, so residents there pay only 6%.
What is exempt from Idaho sales tax?↓
Idaho exempts prescription drugs and most medical equipment. Unlike many states, Idaho does not fully exempt groceries—instead, Idaho provides a Grocery Tax Credit on state income tax returns to offset the sales tax paid on groceries. Services are generally not subject to Idaho sales tax, though specific services like lodging, recreation, and some labor services are taxable. Agricultural inputs and manufacturing equipment have specific exemptions.
Does Idaho tax groceries?↓
Yes, Idaho taxes groceries at the full 6% state sales tax rate, which is unusual among US states. However, Idaho provides a Grocery Tax Credit on state income tax returns (around $120–$140 per person per year) to offset this burden. Idaho residents who do not file a state tax return may miss this credit. Prepared food and restaurant meals are taxed at the full rate without any offset credit.
