Arizona's state sales-tax base rate is 5.6 percent (local additions vary), and on most deals the tax rolls into the financed amount rather than coming out of pocket. The UCC-1 securing the equipment gets filed with the Arizona Secretary of State, and we handle that filing at funding. Arizona conforms to federal Section 179, so the deduction works the same on your state return as your federal one. Full state-level detail lives on our Arizona guide.
