The formulas
- Sales tax = sale x (6% + local rate)
- Nexus when counted sales are at least $100,000 or transactions are at least 200, in the preceding 12 months
- Counted sales = direct sales + marketplace sales
How it works
Figures current as of November 2026.
The state rate is 6 percent. The tool multiplies the sale amount by the statewide base rate plus the local rate you enter (the 1 percent local option tax where the town levies it) and shows the state and local parts separately. The local rate depends on where the goods are delivered.
A seller with no physical presence in Vermont must register and collect once it has at least $100,000 of sales into Vermont, or at least 200 separate transactions, in the preceding 12 months. Sales you make through a marketplace facilitator count toward your own Vermont threshold, together with your direct sales.
A seller with a physical presence in Vermont, 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.
