Which rate goes on the invoice

Sales tax depends on what you sell, where it is delivered and who it is for. The tool applies the rate you enter after any discount, and adds shipping afterwards without tax. For the basics every invoice needs, see what to put on an invoice. To work out the tax on one price, use the sales tax calculator.

Questions

What sales tax rate do I put on an invoice in Alaska?
Alaska has no statewide sales tax, so there is no state rate to add. Local governments in Alaska may charge their own, so use the local rate that applies to the sale.
Do I charge sales tax on services in Alaska?
That depends on what the service is and who it is for, and it is set by the state. This page gives rates, not rules about what is taxed. Ask Alaska's department of revenue or an accountant.
Is the combined rate exact?
No. It is the state rate plus a population-weighted average of local rates, so it describes a typical sale, not yours. City, county and district rates vary, and they change.
