The formulas
- Sales tax = sale x (6.35% + local rate)
- Nexus when counted sales are at least $100,000 and transactions are at least 200, in the 12 months ending on the preceding September 30
How it works
Figures current as of November 2026.
The general rate is 6.35 percent. Connecticut has no local sales tax. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (zero: Connecticut has no local sales tax) and shows the state and local parts separately.
A seller with no physical presence in Connecticut must register and collect once it has at least $100,000 of gross receipts from retail sales into Connecticut and at least 200 separate transactions in the 12 months ending on the preceding September 30.
A seller with a physical presence in Connecticut, such as staff, an office or inventory, must collect regardless of the threshold. The tool does not decide whether a product is taxable or exempt; enter the taxable price.
