Had one ton delivered with my stove so didn't know until today when I bought a second ton that PA does not charge sales tax on pellets.
Is this true in the rest of the US?

Not exactly true. There ARE some towns/counties that DO charge a sales tax on pellets in NY.
See NYS Publication 718-R "Local Sales and Use Tax Rates on Residential Energy Sources and Services"
Scroll down to "Part II".
Pellets are taxed in ohio, as well as heating oil. Currently 6-1/2 or 7% depending on which county of the two I make a purchase as I live almost on the border of the two.

Being new to this, the ton of corn and ton of pellets I bought this year was my first time, and I was shocked to find out there was no tax on either.
When I was at the store getting the pellets, and they rang it up with no tax, I even said to the cashier, "wow, no tax? how did NY miss taxing something?"

It depends on where I purchase in MO if I get taxed. I think it more depends on the registers than the tax laws. I buy in the tax free areas.

Thanks for the reference Mac - I live in suffolk, where the rate is 2-1/2%, but if I buy one county over (Nassau), there is no sales tax. I'm pretty sure I've been mis-charged in the past. I'm gonna print this out and keep it in my truck.

Guess what - 7.6% sales tax on pellets in CA. "Going Green" = Lip Service if $$ to Sacramento is involved...
