What's in the New Hampshire rate file
New Hampshire 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.

Every link below goes to an official New Hampshire government source, not to us. The state is always the authority — our file is how you avoid checking it by hand every month.

Questions
New Hampshire sales tax questions
What is the sales tax rate in New Hampshire?
The statewide base rate is 0%. New Hampshire does not levy a statewide sales tax. There are no local sales taxes either.
Is shipping taxable in New Hampshire?
Generally no. In New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire?
None — New Hampshire has no county, city or district sales taxes, so the state rate is the entire rate across all 281 NH ZIP codes. That is rare, and it is why a single statewide number is safe here and almost nowhere else.
