- July 1, 2026 brings a batch of sales tax changes for Q3, mostly at the local level, so businesses—especially multistate sellers—should update tax systems, ERP software, marketplaces, and filing workflows.
- The article says state rates generally stay the same, but local changes can still be complex and occur quarterly, often on July 1 due to fiscal-year timing.
- Businesses should use address-level tax lookup tools, not ZIP codes, because tax rates can vary within the same ZIP code.
- Remote sellers must collect the correct current rate where they have economic nexus, and collecting the wrong rate can create audit, penalty, and refund issues.
- Confirmed July 1 changes are listed for Alabama, Illinois, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Vermont, and Washington, including Alabama’s reinstated 2% tax on qualifying groceries.
