City of Tucson Sales Tax Rate Increase Effective July 1, 2017
On May 16, 2017, Tucson resident voters approved a 5-year half-cent increase to the City of Tucson sales tax rate. Effective July 1, 2017, the rate will rise from 2.0% to 2.5%, increasing the total retail sales tax rate in Tucson, AZ from 8.1% to 8.6%. This change has no impact on Arizona use tax assessment, which remains at 5.6%. FSO has evaluated UAccess Financials and current tax calculations within requisitions will accommodate this change so there is limited impact on users.
