Local Sales Taxes [View all]

West Virginia has a 6% sales tax. Groceries are exempt. The state government has recently granted Home Rule authority to municipalities. As a result some cities have started charging local sales tax.

These are the cities and how much they tack onto the 6% state sales tax:

Charleston 0.5%
Harrisville 1%
Huntington 1%
Quinwood 1%
Rupert 1%
Wheeling 0.5%
Williamstown 1%
