US sales tax for AI agents: rates, economic nexus, taxability, filing. Citation-backed.

VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableFinanceData & AnalyticsBusiness & Commerce

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote TaxLocus server giving assistants citation-backed US sales-tax rates, economic-nexus thresholds, taxability and payroll reference data.

What you can do
  • Look up US sales-tax rates by state and by named local jurisdiction (county, city, transit, special district)
  • Check per-state economic-nexus thresholds and measurement logic for remote sellers
  • Consult a state-by-product-category taxability matrix
  • Retrieve payroll reference tables: federal FICA/FUTA, state PIT and SUTA wage bases, local income tax and state reciprocity
  • Return citation-backed values that can be verified against the authoritative source
When to use it
Useful when an assistant has to answer US sales-tax or payroll reference questions — rates for a named jurisdiction, nexus thresholds, whether a product category is taxable, or withholding reference figures — and the answer should be traceable to a cited source. Not a fit when you need an exact rate for a specific street address.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at api.taxlocus.com; OAuth authentication is required. No environment variables or headers are declared. Address-level lookup, jurisdiction geometry and nexus tracking are described as a separate paid product.
Before you install
The data is informational only and explicitly not tax advice; rates and rules change often and the snapshot may contain errors or omissions, so verify against the relevant state Department of Revenue before filing or remitting. Payroll coverage has documented gaps and excludes per-employer SUTA rates; consumers compute their own withholding and take liability for it. Address-level resolution and nexus tracking are paid.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Taxlocus in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.taxlocus%2Ftaxlocus/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

TaxLocus Open Sales-Tax Dataset

Free, weekly-updated US sales-tax rate tables — the flat data behind TaxLocus, released as an open dataset for the community.

Data as of: 2026-05-19 · Refreshed weekly from the live TaxLocus corpus.

What this is

A clean, flat snapshot of US sales-tax rates and rules:

  • State base rates for all sales-tax states.
  • Local jurisdiction rates — ~14,000 counties, cities, parishes, boroughs, transit and special districts.
  • Economic-nexus thresholds — the per-state remote-seller registration triggers.
  • Taxability matrix — state × product-category taxable/exempt treatment.

Both CSV and JSON are provided for every table.

What this is not

This is the rate data only. The address-level lookup API, the polygon geometry that resolves an address to its jurisdiction stack, and the nexus tracking tools are the paid product at taxlocus.com. This dataset will tell you the rate for a named jurisdiction; it will not tell you which jurisdictions a given street address falls in.

Payroll-tax open data (new — Plan 14)

Reference tables for US payroll tax — federal FICA/FUTA, state personal income tax (PIT) and SUTA wage bases, and local income tax where it exists (PA, OH, MD, IN, NYC, etc.). Same shape + CC-BY-4.0 licence; every row carries a citation_url to the authoritative source (IRS, state DOR, state UI agency) so any value can be verified or refreshed against the source. This is rate / reference data only — not a withholding-tax calculation engine, not the per-employer SUTA experience rate (which is state-assigned and not lookupable). Consumers compute their own withholding and take liability for it.

Local income tax coverage (3,662 rows, 8 states): PA (2,627 PSDs) · OH (890 munis: RITA + CCA + DOR self-administered) · IN (92 counties) · MD (24 counties) · MI (24 cities) · NY (NYC + Yonkers) · MO (KC + STL) · DE (Wilmington). The remaining ~8 states with some local income tax are not yet covered (KY, IA, OR, AL, CO, WV, KS, NJ-Newark); the other ~34 states have no local income tax at all. Read PAYROLL-COVERAGE.md before relying on this data for withholding — it documents every gap and the disclaimer in detail.

Reciprocity exempts the non-resident state from withholding when an employee files the exemption form (e.g., PA REV-419, MD MW507).
