Coupon Tax

[maxinmotion]

What is the deal with coupon tax. The more coupons you use the more coupon tax you have to pay. I really don't think it fair to tax coupons. What is you experience with coupon taxes?

Wow, I have never heard of a coupon tax.  But, I could understand the implementation of it.  I guess it would be to prevent certain items from actually coming out free.  One example I can think of is like when I had a 40 cents off any Del Monte canned fruit or vegetable coupon and the cans are 79 cents.  Kroger always doubles coupons so for each of those coupons I used, I was actually over and their registers do deduct the penny.  So if I had only done the veggies in that order, then they would have ended up owing me.  So if a tax has been implemented, I can see the purpose.  Extreme couponing is very easy to do with a computer at home.

The extreme coupon series shows people who are able to purchase for example over $300 worth of groceries for under $50. Coupon tax is probably just a way to get money from the people who do this.

Yup, they do this in one of the stores over here, too.  I think it's a bunch of BS.  First off, it's not consistent - not every store is doing this.  Secondly, why send me coupons in the mail from your particular store then charge me when I use it?  I don't get it.  If they're trying to offset the cost of printing the coupons and mailing them out, then just cut the coupons out altogether.  I never asked them to put me on their mailing list!

It's really just sales tax. There's no such thing as a coupon tax. When you pay with a coupon, you are still responsible for the sales tax.

This is new.  Never heard of it that they do tax you for this.  Thank for letting me know.

if you buy an item for 1 dollar, it would have 7 cent tax.  use a dollar coupon, and you still have to pay the 7 cent tax on the item

death and taxes, can't avoid either one

Coupon tax that is new to the ears.  I never heard of this before.  Thank you.

I never heard the term of coupon tax. If this is just mentioning the person is still responsible for sales tax, then this is nothing new. I don't mind paying this still.

I have never heard of coupon tax. I like to use coupons

[rogery]

I've never actually paid attention to the taxes. I always end up owing money anyway. Not every item is taxable either. Coupons are still a good deal.

[dreamyxo]

Never heard of it but then again I rarely use coupons.

We don't have coupon taxes here and my states the most taxed ever

This is news for me. I have never heard of coupon tax. I only use a few coupons since most of them tend to be for junk food which we try not to eat
