The state sales tax rate in Idaho is 6%.
Only some Idaho resort cities have a local sales tax on top of the 6% state tax. These local option taxes are voter-approved, and a city may apply its tax to everything the state taxes or limit it to lodging, alcohol by the drink and restaurant food.
For repairs to tangible personal property, Idaho says repair labor is not taxable when it is listed separately from parts on the invoice; combined charges are taxed in full. Contractors who repair real property, including plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors, are treated as consumers of their materials and do not charge the customer sales tax.
