What's in the Delaware rate file
Delaware data ships inside every edition — we do not sell single-state files. Each row carries the ZIP code, county and city name, the rate at each jurisdiction level, the combined total, and whether shipping is taxable. The higher editions add district reporting codes, FIPS codes, effective dates and sales tax holiday windows.

How local tax works in Delaware. There is no state or local sales tax anywhere in Delaware.
Worth knowing. No sales or use tax at any level, so no permit, rate, return or holiday. Sellers instead face a gross receipts tax on Delaware receipts — roughly 0.09% to 1.99% by activity, not passed through to the buyer as a line item — plus a business licence.
Questions
Delaware sales tax questions
What is the sales tax rate in Delaware?
The statewide base rate is 0%. Delaware does not levy a statewide sales tax. There are no local sales taxes either.
Is shipping taxable in Delaware?
Generally no. In Delaware a delivery charge is not taxable, and combining it with handling does not make it taxable.
That distinction catches people out, which is why our file carries both flags — TAX_SHIPPING_ALONE and TAX_SHIPPING_AND_HANDLING_TOGETHER — on every row, for the specific jurisdiction. Your system doesn't have to encode the rule.
How many sales tax jurisdictions are there in Delaware?
None — Delaware has no county, city or district sales taxes, so the state rate is the entire rate across all 96 DE ZIP codes. That is rare, and it is why a single statewide number is safe here and almost nowhere else.
