Tennessee does not tax wage income and therefore has no state income tax withholding on earned income. Tennessee’s general state sales tax rate is 7%, with local sales tax that varies by county and city, generally up to 2.75%. Property taxes are local, and Tennessee also has separate business and franchise/excise taxes for qualifying businesses.
