Good to know
- Arizona's TPT is legally a tax on the seller for the privilege of doing business, though sellers usually pass it on to the buyer.
How to work out Arizona TPT
Add the state rate and your local rate to get the combined rate. Then:
- Tax on a price: price × combined rate. At 5.6%, $100 carries $5.60, so you pay $105.60.
- Tax inside a total: total ÷ (1 + combined rate) gives the price before tax. The difference is the tax.
Some goods are taxed at a different rate or not at all, such as groceries in many states. Check the state's page for the item you're pricing.
Selling in Arizona? A business that makes taxable sales usually needs a sales tax permit from the state before its first sale. See Arizona's seller's permit and resale certificate rules and its remote seller threshold. Our Arizona business guide covers registering a company there.
