Oregon is very pellet stove friendly. No sales tax +plus I can claim a tax credit of 10% of the cost of my pellets. Maybe it is only ~ $65, but that could buy 16 more bags.

Hi all,

Anyone have sales tax info on pellets in MI?

I heard it should be 4% instead of the normal sales tax of 6%?

If so, Menards owes me some $$$.


Thanks
yes its 4% in Michigan...go get some money back

No tax on Pellets in NYS - AMAZING!!!
In my neighboring town/city, they charge a city tax on pellets. Which I'm not sure is legit but is just one more thing to drive people to my store to buy them.

Scroll to the very last page of this document to see the updated list of counties & cities that tax pellets in NY state:

Thanks for that link. I am fortunate enough to live in a county without tax on pellets.
 
No tax in Pa, but Home Depot will try and charge you 6% state tax.
You have to be persistant that they cannot charge you 6%.....
Walk out and go over to Lowes, no 6% tax.
Also, very important, at least to me..
Home Depot WILL NOT give you the veteran 10% discount
Lowes WILL give you the veteran 10% discoount.
Guess where I always shop!!
 
As others have said, there is NO tax in PA on Hard Fuel's, Pellets OR coal. If you're in PA and someone tries to charge you 6% tax, refuse to pay it.
