Sales Tax

Sales tax plays an important role in funding the services and infrastructure the people of Juneau rely on. The Sales Tax office is responsible for  business registration, filing, remittance, and record keeping requirements and also offers sales tax exemption cards to senior citizens, non-profit organizations, and for resale purposes.

*Merchants are required to collect sales tax on non-exempt purchases and remit that amount to the CBJ Sales Tax Office. Sales tax is not a tax on businesses or business owners, but is the People’s money collected on behalf of CBJ by merchants, for the benefit of the community as a whole.
