Idaho sales tax rates by ZIP code
A small number of resort cities add local tax.
Counts and the combined rate range are drawn from our October 2026 file. Rates change monthly.
What you actually have to charge in Idaho
Local jurisdictions add their own rate on top, so the rate you must actually charge is almost never the state rate.

See the ID data before you buy. Every edition has a free sample file cut from our October 2026 file, with the full state, county, city and district breakdown exactly as it ships, including 30 ID rows.
What's in the Idaho rate file
Idaho 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 Idaho. Almost entirely state-only. A uniform 6% rate applies statewide; the only local taxes are voter-approved local option taxes in about two dozen resort cities, administered and collected by the cities themselves, plus auditorium district taxes.
Worth knowing. With no general local tax there is no address lookup or rate file — one statewide rate covers most sellers. Sellers located in a resort city such as Ketchum, McCall, Sun Valley or Sandpoint must register and file with that city separately, often on a narrower base.
Questions
Idaho sales tax questions
What is the sales tax rate in Idaho?
The statewide base rate is 6%. Local jurisdictions add their own rate on top, so the rate you must actually charge is almost never the state rate.
Is shipping taxable in Idaho?
Generally no. In Idaho 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 Idaho?
We track 12 bodies that actually levy a sales tax in Idaho — 12 cities — across 317 ID ZIP codes. We count a county, city or district only where it charges something, not merely because it appears in the file.
