How sales and use tax rates are composed

Arizona collects a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) at the state level and cities such as Phoenix may levy local taxes or business privilege taxes that apply inside their municipal boundaries. Maryvale is a neighborhood inside the City of Phoenix, so the applicable local rate is the City of Phoenix rate combined with the state rate and any applicable special district rates.

Where to find official rates

• Arizona Department of Revenue transaction privilege tax pages provide a searchable rate locator and tables for combined rates by city and address.
• City of Phoenix finance or business tax pages describe local business tax categories and may explain city-specific add-ons for some activities.
• Special district or county rates (if any) are listed on state rate tables where they apply.

Penalties & Enforcement

Collection and enforcement responsibilities are shared: the State of Arizona enforces TPT collection and auditing through the Arizona Department of Revenue, while the City of Phoenix enforces city business tax requirements and local licensing for businesses operating inside Phoenix (including Maryvale). For official contact and enforcement guidance see the Phoenix Finance Department pages for business tax and compliance. Phoenix Finance Department^[2]
