Arizona originally adopted TPT in 1933 when the rate for selling tangible personal property at retail was 2 percent. That rate is currently 5.6 percent. On top of the state TPT, there may be one or more local TPTs, as well as one or more special district taxes, each of which can range between 0 percent and 5.6 percent.
Accounting Credit The State of Arizona allows a credit for accounting and reporting expenses which results in a reduction of the amount of state tax owed. The accounting credit is applicable only to the state's transaction privilege tax and/or severance tax. The credit does not apply to city, county or other taxes.
Therefore, it is ultimately the vendor, not the customer, who is liable to ADOR for TPT associated with taxable sales made in Arizona. Although not required to do so, vendors generally choose to pass this tax to the customer, so we generally tend to think of TPT as a sales tax.
