The District of Columbia has a variable income tax rate of 6 percent to 9.5 percent.
Taxable income includes interest and dividends.
All 2000 forms may not yet be available. The general consumer sales tax in the District of Columbia is 5.75 percent. However, Washington, D.C., actually levies a sales tax with five different rates. This rate structure is utilized, in part, to take advantage of the District's special status as a tourist center and to increase the contribution of non-residents working in the city. Property assessments are conducted by the Assessment Division, Real Property Tax Administration, Office of Tax and Revenue.
