What is the NY Sales Tax Rate?

The New York Combined Sales and Use Tax rate equals the state rate (currently 4%) plus any local tax rate imposed by a city, county, or school district.  For instance, throughout New York City, the rate is usually 8.75%. An additional sales tax rate of 0.375% applies to taxable sales made within the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD). The combined rates vary in each county and in cities that impose sales tax.
