Full transcript
Overview
If you do business in Idaho, sales tax can get confusing fast. Here's a quick breakdown of the basics.
Who administers it
Idaho sales tax is administered by the Idaho State Tax Commission.
State and local rates
The WGA page lists Idaho's statewide base sales tax rate as 6%. Local rates can stack on top and are generally based on the delivery address.
Economic nexus
Nexus means a business may have enough connection to a state that its sales tax responsibilities should be reviewed. For remote sellers, the WGA page lists Idaho's economic nexus threshold as $100,000 in sales.
Filing frequency
The WGA page notes that filing may be monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on liability. The practical goal is to know the assigned schedule and keep collected tax matched to it.
What to watch for
One Idaho watch-out: resort cities may levy an additional local option tax.
