Templeton Meals tax; can you say Dunkin Donuts and Cumberland Farms?

Store sales

Sales of food and beverages by the stores listed above are subject to the tax if the items are sold in a way that it could be considered a meal. The following items sold in stores are taxable:
  • Beverages: Poured beverages, such as a cup of coffee or a fountain soda.
  • Unpackaged baked goods: Unpackaged baked goods or other snacks are generally taxable unless sold in units of 6 or more to be taken out. Baked goods in units of 6 or more include any variety of items totaling 6 or more servings. For example: 2 bagels, 3 muffins and 1 danish; or a whole pie, cake, loaf of bread, etc. However, a bakery may sell any amount of unpackaged baked goods tax-free if it sells only baked goods, or if it keeps its restaurant sales separate as required by DOR regulation.

  1. We could cut down every tree in town ! Oh yes, the DOR says not to use one time revenue to balance a Town budget. Why did our TA do that if your not supposed to ? Could we have a revenue problem ? Or maybe more like a spending problem ! Keep spending what we do not have and see where that gets us. It will all come out in the wash !

    1. I seriously doubt that this added tax will even put a dent in what the town needs for revenue. All of the times we have had to lay people off was due to our BOS overspending, and mismanagement. Time and time again ! Year after year !
