Compared with neighboring states, Kentucky’s 6.00% rate is higher than Illinois’s 6.25% base but often lower once Illinois’s local taxes are added, lower than Tennessee’s combined rates that can exceed 9.00%, and about the same as Indiana’s flat 7.00%. In Louisville, the total rate remains 6.00% since Kentucky does not allow any local sales taxes. The rate stays the same across the entire state.
