New Hampshire, in brief.
Does New Hampshire have a sales tax?
No — New Hampshire imposes no general state sales or use tax. No state or local sales tax. Sellers based in New Hampshire can still trigger economic nexus in other states, so multi-state exposure doesn’t disappear with a no-tax home state.
