From October 1, 2025, resident and non-resident providers of taxable goods and services should be aware of the sales and use tax rate changes in Oakland City. The minimum combined sales tax rate for taxable supplies that have a place of supply in Oakland is 10.75%.
Oakland’s total sales tax rate has increased from 10.25% to 10.75% as of October 1, 2025. This increase in the sales tax rate is a result of the rise at the city level. The Oakland sales tax rate is a complex combination of the state, county, and any local rates added on top.
Vendors with customers in Oakland or other nearby towns in Alameda County should, if they haven’t done so before, update their billing systems to reflect the latest sales tax rates. The incorrect calculations could lead to various “unwanted” situations, potentially resulting in late payment penalties, incorrect returns, and tax audits.
