In the cation of the title compound, C6H6N5+·CF3COO-, the pyridine and tetrazole rings are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 2.49 (19)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected by intermolecular N-H...O and N-H...(F,O) hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric [2 + 2] aggregates, which stack along the a axis.
