A 6% base with a 1% local option in some towns
Vermont charges 6% statewide, and the roughly two dozen towns that adopt a 1% local option tax bring the average combined rate to 6.39% — an average local add-on near 0.4 of a point. Outside those towns the rate is a flat 6%.
Because only a minority of towns add the local option, most Vermont purchases are taxed at the 6% pre-fill, but enter 7% where a town has adopted the local tax. Groceries, clothing, and prescription drugs are broadly exempt, so some items are taxed differently. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
