About Cloquet's 1% Sales Tax

If an item is subject to the 6.875 percent sales tax, it is also subject to the one percent (1%) local option sales tax. Retailers report tax collections directly to the Minnesota Department of Revenue at the same time you report your Minnesota sales tax, but the figures are reported separately.

Exclusion

Excluded from the 1% sales tax are motorized vehicles. Motorized vehicles are subject to a tax of up to $20.00. Dealers remit vehicle excise tax to the City of Cloquet using the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Report.
