Three taxes, one receipt
This page of our Missouri dispensary guide breaks the receipt into its parts. Each tax is a share of the retail price.
- State marijuana tax. 6% on every adult-use sale.
- Local marijuana tax. Up to 3%, only where local voters approved it. Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Columbia charge it, and Chesterfield doesn't.
- Regular sales tax. The same state and local rate as anything else you buy there. The marijuana taxes don't replace it.
The Department of Revenue's rate table lists a separate adult-use marijuana rate for every city and county, and that's the rate stores collect.
Pipes, papers and merch at a dispensary pay regular sales tax only.

Run your order
Put in the shelf price, pick a city and a deal. Stores usually figure tax on the price after their own discount, though we haven't found a state rule that says so.
