New Version Of Missouri Sales, Use Tax Lookup Launches

The Missouri Department of Revenue released a newly enhanced version of sales and use tax lookup rates. 

The Google based map provides new features that give customers current tax rates and boundaries for addresses throughout the state of Missouri.

Users can plug their address into the tool and receive their total sales tax rate.

A purchase made in the city of Bourbon will result in a 9.9750 percent tax rate.

This includes a 4.225 percent Missouri sales tax, a 2.75 percent Crawford County sales tax, a 2 percent city sales tax, a 0.5 percent sales tax rate to the Bourbon Fire Protection District and 0.5 percent sales tax to the North Crawford Ambulance District.

Other new features include:

• Tax rates for January 1, 2023 through current. This also allows the ability for the customer to research a prior tax rate imposed back to January 2023.
• Boundaries for cities, counties, districts and annexations throughout Missouri.  After entering an address, click on the empty box next to the interested jurisdiction.
• The jurisdiction code for the address you are searching in the lookup tool. Jurisdiction codes are used by businesses when filing a sales or use tax return with the department.
