Understanding Sales Tax in Minnesota
Minnesota's state sales tax rate is 6.875%, and with local add-ons, combined rates in Minnesota cities range from approximately 7.375% to 9.875%.

Minnesota's sales tax exemptions are notably comprehensive. Minnesota has one of the broadest clothing exemptions in the nation — all clothing and apparel is entirely exempt from both state and local sales taxes in Minnesota, with limited exceptions for fur clothing, sporting goods and uniforms specifically designed for athletic use, and accessories. This is an absolute exemption with no dollar threshold, unlike Massachusetts's $175 limit.
Food for home consumption is fully exempt in Minnesota. Prescription drugs and most medical devices are exempt. Certain farm machinery, agricultural inputs, and equipment used in manufacturing are also broadly exempt in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue administers the state tax. Local taxes are administered through the state system. Minnesota participates in the SST agreement. Economic nexus threshold is $100,000 in annual Minnesota sales.
