Just wait until this new administration gets a toe hold. TAXES, TAXES AND MORE TAXES. And, you won't have a word to say about it! From the big blue state of Maine.

8.75 in Westchester Cty. where I work, and 8 .35 in orange Cty where I live.....I'm sure both will be going up soon, and add all the new taxes from "O", I'll probably just have to get myself fired at work, and go on welfare.....I'll probably make out better. :long:sydney1963 said:

7% tax here on fuel here. If heating fuel isn't as important as food in this area, I'd like to know why.

No taxes on heating oil or pellets here in Maine yet. They keep adding on taxes to gas and cigarettes and everything else under the sun like no body's business. Oh, but don't pass the casino though, it may give some relief from higher taxes. Sorry I shouldn't vent here, but I'm really frustrated.

Yep, you are 100% right Eric...it's just a matter of when, not if, especially living in NY. I already started drawing up plans for a hidden room in the basement for my "collection".
No tax in Wisconsin, IF they are used as your primary heat source. If you are using it as a space heater, they are taxable.

if I go to the supermarket to buy a chicken,no tax. If they cook it,then there is tax. It would be funny,if it weren't true.
oh yeah...pellets are taxed.

I can't figure out If I should be charging tax for pellets in my state. I went to the state government web site, sent an e-mail, and they could not give me a straight answer. I tax them just to be on the safe side. The hardware store, our business is located inside of does not charge tax for pellets. I asked them why they don't charge tax and they said because the customers complain if they do. I need to complain more.
Pellets are taxed in Illinois. Also I notice when I go to McDonald's they charge a take out tax. If you go inside and order and say to go they add a take out tax to the bill. If you sit down and eat it there, no take out tax. I suppose all places to eat have to do that around here.
sales tax ? what is that ? So far at least,NH is live free or die and no sales (or income) tax .

Macman... U da man!
I wanted thank you for starting this thread. Until your post, I was unaware that the pellets were non-taxable. My recent receipts for various pellets I have been trying were tax exempt, I just had not paid much attention until now. I was curious about my original stove purchase receipt because I had bought a ton of pellets with the stove. Sure enough, they had charged me tax on the ton of pellets. I just went to the dealer this morning and brought it to their attention. They refunded my money without any hassle at all.
So thanks again...you just saved me over $15.00. ;-)

Hey Code, glad you called them on it...I think there a LOT of people that have been "scammed" by dealers and big box stores too. Free $$ for them, when we are all so used to paying tax on everything except food for the most part.
Yes, I'm sure there are a few innocent mistakes made, but just by reading through this thread, you'll see that there are some "not so honest" people out there taking advantage of us.
Interesting. I have been paying sales tax on my purchases from Home Depot and TSC.
I tried to find out if pellets are taxable here in CA, but there is no mention of that on the State site. I did find the info that LPG is non-taxable when used for domestic heating and cooking, but I already knew that. I sent an inquiry to our Dept. of Equalization asking for clarification.

off topic,
but the beverage tax that was just repealed was for alcohol and soda. Not water. You probably should read a little more about what you are voting on before you head to the polls. Those are two luxuries I would be willing to pay a few cents more on to help pay for a health care plan available to small business, self employed, and people without employer provided health care. You can't have things like roads, schools, police, fire departments without taxes, so not all taxes are bad.
there was talk of taxing poland springs on the water they take out of the ground and sell but that never happened.
