What New Hampshire adds to a sale

These statements come from the state's own agencies. Each one links to the page it was taken from.

Corporate tax

New Hampshire's Business Profits Tax is 7.5% for taxable periods ending on or after December 31, 2023. It applies to any business organization carrying on business activity in the state; for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, a return is required once gross business income exceeds $109,000.

Personal income tax

New Hampshire's Interest and Dividends Tax is repealed for tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, so residents no longer pay it on interest and dividend income. Periods through December 31, 2024 remain subject to audit and collection.

Transfer taxes

New Hampshire's real estate transfer tax is $0.75 per $100 of the price, charged to both the buyer and the seller. Transfers between a business and its owners are taxable, and so are transfers of interests in real estate holding companies, based on the fair market value of the interest attributable to New Hampshire real estate.
