#### Formula

State Tax = Purchase Price × State Rate Local Tax = Purchase Price × Local Rate Total Tax Due = State Tax + Local Tax Total Cost = Purchase Price + Total Tax Due

Standard Construction Materials: State Rate = 7.00% Local Rate = 2.75% (most counties) or 2.25% (Davidson, Hamilton, Knox, Shelby)

Industrial Machinery / Qualified Equipment (TCA §67-6-206): State Rate = 1.50% Local Rate = capped at 1.50%

Example: $10,000 of standard materials in Williamson County (2.75% local): State Tax = $10,000 × 7% = $700 Local Tax = $10,000 × 2.75% = $275 Total Tax = $975 | Total Cost = $10,975

#### Assumptions & References

Tennessee state sales tax rate on tangible personal property (including construction materials) is 7% per TCA §67-6-202.
Local option sales tax rates are set by county and city governments. Most Tennessee counties levy 2.75%; Davidson, Hamilton, Knox, and Shelby counties levy 2.25%.
Industrial machinery used in qualified manufacturing operations is taxed at a reduced state rate of 1.5% with a local rate capped at 1.5% per TCA §67-6-206.
Labor charges for construction services are not subject to Tennessee sales tax.
Local rates shown reflect general county rates; some cities within counties may have additional rates. Verify with the Tennessee Department of Revenue for the exact rate at your project location.
