minus-squarereddig33@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down4·edit-23 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-squareuss_entrepreneur@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoThis is more or less how it works in Texas. Or at least the last time I paid attention to it I’d did. Potatoes are not taxed but chips are.
