What this rate applies to
Wyoming publishes the taxable base separately from the rate. Groceries, prescription drugs, clothing and services are treated differently state to state, and several categories in Wyoming are taxed at reduced rates or exempt entirely. Wyoming's local tax is county-voted rather than city-set, so the Cheyenne rate is really Laramie County's — and food for home consumption is exempt statewide. Check the Wyoming Department of Revenue guidance for the category you are pricing before assuming 6% applies.
