What you still pay
No state sales tax does not mean no tax at all. Alaska raises money in other ways, and some goods carry their own taxes, such as fuel, tobacco, alcohol and hotel stays. Local sales taxes can also apply in some areas.
Good to know
No statewide sales tax. Alaska is the only no-sales-tax state that lets cities and boroughs charge their own local sales tax, so the rate depends entirely on where you buy.
Buying online
Since the 2018 Wayfair decision, most online sellers charge sales tax based on the delivery address, so an online order shipped to Alaska is taxed at Alaska rates, not the seller's.

Sources and assumptions
- State rates are the general sales tax rate on most goods. Groceries, clothing, cars, services and hotel stays can be taxed differently.
- Local rates are state averages; the exact local rate depends on the city, county and district of the sale or delivery address.
