State sales tax rates by state
The statewide sales tax rate of each state and the District of Columbia as FedRateCalc reads it from an official source: the state tax agency's own page, the state's statute or an agency PDF. 37 states are verified and carry a rate (0 where the source says the state has no general sales tax; Hawaii's general excise tax and Arizona's transaction privilege tax are labelled as such). The other 14 states are pending: their official source has not been read yet, so the file gives their official URL and no rate. Each verified row names the source type, the citation, the effective date when the source states one, whether the source says local taxes apply, and the date the source was checked. Local, county and city rates are not in this file.

Update policy
Regenerated at every site build from the state records in src/lib/salesTax (data.ts, generated from saved copies of the official sources). The "sales-tax" data freshness item re-checks the sources, and a pending state gets its rate in the file after its official source is read and saved.
