Legislators who almost raised food tax this year now consider eliminating it
“Rep. Tim Quinn, R-Heber, said he figures that if the state raised its share of sales tax on other items from 4.7 percent to 4.95 percent, the sales tax on food could drop to zero — and solve many of the problems discussed. “Perhaps that’s something that is amenable to all of us,” Quinn said, although he quickly clarified he is not yet advocating such a plan. “We could remove sales tax on food completely so the most needy amongst could be benefited.” Sen. Jim Dabakis, D-Salt Lake City, plans to introduce a bill calling for wiping out the grocery tax.”
