June 2025 U.S. Sales Tax Updates

Effective June 1, 2025, a number of states and local jurisdictions have introduced updates to their sales and use tax rates. These changes impact businesses with operations or sales in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and states participating in the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) initiative.

Alabama: Local rate adjustments across jurisdictions
The Alabama Department of Revenue has announced modifications to local sales and use tax rates in multiple counties and jurisdictions throughout the state. These changes, effective June 1, reflect routine rate adjustments made at the local level. Businesses with customers or operations in Alabama should review the updated rate tables to ensure continued compliance.
Florida: Hillsborough County surtaxes reinstated
From January 1 to May 31, 2025, Hillsborough County, Florida, temporarily suspended the collection of two discretionary surtaxes:
- 0.5% Indigent Care Surtax
- 0.5% Local Government Infrastructure Surtax
During this period, businesses were instructed to collect only the 6% state sales tax and the 0.5% school capital outlay surtax, resulting in a combined rate of 6.5%.
As of June 1, 2025, the temporary suspension has ended, and all applicable surtaxes have been reinstated. The combined sales tax rate is now 7.5% once again. Businesses operating in Hillsborough County should resume collecting the full rate and ensure invoicing systems are updated accordingly.

Louisiana: Targeted rate reductions in St. Landry Parish
St. Landry Parish has implemented targeted reductions in local sales and use tax rates across several jurisdictions:
- Washington
- Opelousas
- Central St. Landry Economic Development District – Opelousas City
- Opelousas Downtown Development District EDD
These changes, starting June 1, 2025, lower the combined tax burden in these areas. Businesses with nexus in these jurisdictions should verify the new rates and update their tax calculation systems accordingly. Additional information is available on the Louisiana Association of Tax Administrators (LATA) website.
