North Dakota sales tax rate changes, January 2019

  • Jan 6, 2019 | Gail Cole

A number of local sales and use tax rate changes took effect in North Dakota on January 1, 2019.

Bowman extended an existing 1% city sales, use, and gross receipts tax and also increased it by 1%, for a total local sales and use tax of 2% and combined rate of 7%. Additional details.

Burlington imposed a 1.5% city sales, use, and gross receipts tax, for a combined state and local rate of 7%. Additional details.

Enderlin increased its 2% city sales, use, and gross receipts tax to 2.5%, for a combined state and local rate of 7.5%. Additional details.

New Salem increased the city sales, use, and gross receipts tax from 1% to 2%, for a combined state and local rate of 7.5%. Additional details.

Towner increased the city sales, use, and gross receipts tax by 1 percent, for combined city rate of 2% and a total rate of 7%. Additional details.

Local tax jurisdictions in North Dakota have the authority to set a cap on sales tax (for example, Towner caps it at $25 per sale). They can also exempt certain sales (e.g., new farm machinery). In other words, sales tax compliance in North Dakota may be more complicated than you think.
