minus-squarereddig33@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down5·edit-224 days agoI can see taxing finished goods (hamburger helper) but not raw goods (apples, carrots). Is this the case in some of these states?
minus-squareLilB0kChoy@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·24 days agoYeah, kind of. I live in Minnesota and here raw ingredients, and essential food items are untaxed. Prepared foods, candy, soda and anything “non-essential” are taxed normally.
