What? Sales Tax Independence Day?
I was just talking to my dad who lives in Vermont, and he mentioned that yesterday was “Sales Tax Independence Day” there.
Where have I been?
He said that’s not new there, they’ve done it a couple times before. No state sales tax for a day on purchases $2,000 or less to try to boost the economy.
Would no sales tax for a day encourage you to go make some purchases you wouldn’t otherwise think about making?
