This state does not impose a statewide sales tax. Remote sellers have no state-level obligation here.

For informational purposes only · Not legal or tax advice · Consult a licensed tax professional · Rules as of 2026

New Hampshire imposes no state sales tax and no local consumer sales taxes. This applies to:

• Physical goods
• Digital goods and SaaS
• Services
• All transaction types

There is no requirement to register, collect, or remit any sales tax to New Hampshire — for any seller, domestic or international, at any volume.

New Hampshire is one of the five no-tax states: Alaska (no state tax but local jurisdictions apply), Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon.

No Use Tax Either

Many states without sales tax still impose a use tax on purchases where sales tax was not collected. New Hampshire has no use tax — neither sellers nor consumers have any consumption tax obligation on purchases.

What New Hampshire Does Have

New Hampshire compensates for the absence of a sales tax with other revenue sources:

• Meals and Rooms Tax: 8.5% on prepared food, restaurant meals, hotel/motel rooms, and motor vehicle rentals. This applies to local hospitality businesses — not relevant to typical remote e-commerce sellers
• Interest and Dividends Tax: Tax on certain investment income from residents (being phased out — eliminated for tax years beginning after December 31, 2026)
• Business Profits Tax (BPT): 7.6% on business income from New Hampshire operations
• Business Enterprise Tax (BET): 0.55% on enterprise value — applies to businesses with New Hampshire gross receipts over $250,000

Remote sellers with no New Hampshire physical presence are generally not subject to BPT or BET.

• Property tax: New Hampshire has high property tax rates, one of the main revenue substitutes for the lack of a sales tax

New Hampshire’s Anti-Solicitation Law

New Hampshire has historically been protective of its no-sales-tax status. The state passed a law in 2021 (RSA 78-E) prohibiting New Hampshire residents and businesses from complying with another state’s attempts to collect sales tax from them for New Hampshire transactions. This is a unique state-level declaration of its no-tax policy.

This law does not create any obligation for you as a seller — it reinforces that no collection is required.

Implications for Your Compliance Profile

When building your US nexus tracking and compliance stack:

• Mark New Hampshire as exempt from all sales tax obligations
• No threshold to monitor
• No registration to obtain
• No tax collection to configure
• No returns to file

The absence of sales tax is one reason New Hampshire retail and e-commerce is an active market — prices to consumers are effectively lower.
