The Foods Drops Bill
Idaho bill cuts tax on some foods, drops grocery credit
Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to exempt the sale of certain food items from sales tax, to repeal the grocery tax credit, and to increase sales tax distribution to local governments.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would stop charging sales tax on certain foods, end a grocery tax credit, and send more sales tax money to local governments.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Consumers could save money on everyday groceries, but stores might lose a tax break and could raise prices, while towns hope for more funding for services.
