What you still pay
No state sales tax does not mean no tax at all. Delaware raises money in other ways, and some goods carry their own taxes, such as fuel, tobacco, alcohol and hotel stays.
Good to know
No state or local sales tax.
Buying online
Since the 2018 Wayfair decision, most online sellers charge sales tax based on the delivery address, so an online order shipped to Delaware is taxed at Delaware 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.
Estimates, not tax advice. The receipt from the seller shows the actual tax charged.
