Readers Split on Back to School Sales Tax Holiday
Last week readers were split on Missouri’s Back to School Sales Tax Holiday that runs this weekend:
Q:Â Thoughts on the Missouri back to school sales tax holiday?
- Great, helps low-income families afford needed supplies 28 34.57%
- Bad, just reduces much needed income for various governments. 21 25.93%
- Meh, doesn’t hurt or help anyone. 19 23.46%
- unsure/no opinion 8 9.88%
- Other answer…5 6.17%
The five other answers were:
- Eliminate taxes year-round. Imagine what that would do for the economy.
- Would be better if municipal taxes were also waived!
- Just a gimmick to stimulate spending.
- reduce govt tax take
- why is the tax holiday “selective”? It should cover everything.
Will you be taking advantage of this holiday?
