New Hampshire Sales Tax FAQ
Does New Hampshire have sales tax?
No. New Hampshire has no state sales tax and no local sales taxes either. Most purchases in New Hampshire are tax-free at the point of sale.
How does New Hampshire fund government without sales tax?
New Hampshire funds government through property taxes, business taxes, and meals/rooms taxes instead — "Live Free or Die" applies to the cash register too.
Are there any taxes on purchases in New Hampshire?
While there's no general sales tax, New Hampshire charges 9% tax on restaurant meals, hotel rooms, and car rentals. These are specific excise taxes, not a general sales tax. Most retail purchases are tax-free.
Do I pay sales tax on online purchases in New Hampshire?
Generally no. Since New Hampshire has no state sales tax, online retailers don't collect New Hampshire sales tax. However, if the retailer has a physical presence in another state that charges sales tax, the rules can vary. For most online shopping, New Hampshire residents don't pay sales tax.
Is it worth driving to New Hampshire to avoid sales tax?
It depends on what you're buying. Against the 6.59% 50-state average, a $1,000 purchase in New Hampshire saves about $65.90. On a $10,000 purchase, that scales to roughly $659. For big-ticket items the savings can justify a trip, especially near the border — just remember your home state may require use tax on out-of-state purchases.
Where does New Hampshire rank nationally on sales tax?
At the very bottom — #47 of 50, tied with Delaware, Montana, Oregon as the only states that collect no sales tax at all. No shopper anywhere in the US pays less at the register than New Hampshire residents do.
