What is the Massachusetts sales tax?

• A. 7.25%
• B. 6.25%
• C. 5.0%
• D. 6.75%

Answer: (B)

You're being asked to know the standard statewide sales tax rate for Massachusetts. The state applies a 6.25% sales tax to most taxable purchases, and this is the rate you’d typically see on a receipt for everyday items. Some items have exemptions or special rules (like certain groceries or prepared foods), but for the general purchases in Massachusetts, 6.25% is the rate. The other numbers don’t match Massachusetts’ current standard rate.
