If you are planning to move to another state and you are sick of having to deal with high sales tax, it is ideal to move to a state that does not have any. Therefore, today this article will discuss states that do not have sales tax.
Alaska
Alaska does not have sales taxes; however, they do have local taxes. Local taxes are approximately 1.69%. Therefore, if you like the environment that Alaska has to offer it could be a good idea to relocate to this state to avoid paying expensive sale taxes.
Montana

New Hampshire

Delaware
Delaware is one of the smaller states. However, when it comes to paying sale taxes this small state allows you to pay none.
Oregon
Oregon does not have any sale taxes but their income tax is considered high when compared to Washington.
