Rev & Tax votes unanimously for Girl Scout cookie tax break
The House Revenue & Taxation Committee has vote unanimously in favor of HB 250, the bill to remove Idaho’s distinction as one of just two states that imposes sales tax on Girl Scout cookie sales. Rep. Robert Anderst, R-Nampa, said, “This is not a good organization – you guys are a great organization. I’m personally a results-oriented type person and you guys obviously get results – that is so critical today. I’m fully in support of everything you guys do.” Anderst said with that said, he doesn’t think this is a good way to set tax policy; with so many deserving organizations, the state should have a more coherent approach than picking which ones get tax breaks individually. However, he said, that discussion is for the future, and “obviously not today.”
