State tax rate downloads are provided in comma-separated values (CSV) files. They can be opened in a spreadsheet application such as Excel or Google Sheets for direct reference, or converted to a compatible format for uploading into your accounting, ERP, or ecommerce software. Note: Because the files are downloaded, they do not update automatically. We recommend downloading new tables at least once a month or automating your tax calculation process with a cloud-based solution .

Each state sales tax rate file includes fields for: State, ZIP Code, Tax Region Name, Tax Region Code (Unique Identifier), Combined Rate (Total Sales Tax Rate), State Rate, County Rate, City Rate and Special Rate

Yes. Each additional taxing level beyond city, county, and state is included in the Special Rate field as a combined value. For additional taxing level information, please contact the Avalara support team .

Should I automate tax calculation?

Tax rates are incredibly difficult to track at scale. There are more than 13,000 sales and use tax jurisdictions in the United States alone, and each one is subject to ongoing rate and taxability updates. A solution like Avalara allows you to offload the process of researching and applying the tax rates and rules valid at the point of sale. Automation both improves your tax compliance and reduces the amount of time and effort you or your staff have to put into determining product taxability and rates.
