The Grocery Stores Bill
Grocery stores earn tax credit for buying local farm produce
Relative to certain tax credits for purchase from New Hampshire farms.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, grocery stores buying at least 10% of their stock from registered New Hampshire farms could claim a tax credit and must cut those items' prices by 10%
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could help local farms get more business and give shoppers lower prices, but it will also reduce tax revenue for the state, meaning the public may pay for other services later.
