Alaska is one of five states with no statewide sales tax (alongside Alaska, Delaware, Montana, and New Hampshire, or Oregon depending on local levies). The state collects revenue through other means such as income taxes, property taxes, and business levies. Note that some local governments in Alaska may still impose their own sales taxes.
Sales taxes are typically not applied to groceries, prescription drugs, and some other categories in most states. The actual tax you pay may be lower than the calculated estimate if a significant portion of your spending is on exempt items.
