The District of Columbia Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Support Act of 2025 (D.C. Law 26-55, enacted 6 December 2025) amends D.C. Code § 47-2202 to raise the general sales and use tax rate from 6.0% to 7.0% with effect from 1 October 2026. The same act repealed a previously scheduled 6.5% interim step that would have applied from 1 October 2025, so the rate remains 6.0% until 1 October 2026.
