How Local Sales Tax Works in Utah
Utah’s 6.10% statewide minimum already includes mandatory local components. Counties, cities and transit districts add further options on top, and resort communities may levy an additional resort tax, which is why some ski-town addresses sit well above the state minimum.
Which Utah Rate Should You Charge?
Utah generally sources sales to the seller’s Utah location where the order is received, with destination sourcing applying to goods shipped to the buyer from outside that location.
What Utah Taxes — and What It Doesn’t
Groceries for home consumption are taxed at a reduced combined rate rather than exempted. Prescription drugs are exempt. Most services are untaxed, with exceptions for certain repairs, admissions and short-term rentals.
