In 1921, West Virginia became the first US state to enact a sales tax. Georgia passed legislation enacting a sales tax in 1929. 11 other states enacted sales taxes in 1933 alone. By 1940, at least 30 states had a sales tax. Currently, 45 of the 50 U.S. states levy a sales and use tax against purchases. Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon are the exceptions.
