Some taxes do not apply until a sale or purchase reaches a specified amount which we refer to as the Minimum Taxable Amount.

Likewise some taxes no longer apply after a sale or purchase reaches a specified amount which we refer to as the Maximum Taxable Amount.

Occasionally one authority such as the county will collect tax up to a specified Maximum Taxable Amount at which point a city tax may kick in and collect on everything over that Minimum Taxable Amount.

• Alaska
• Arizona
