Bill Would End Taxes on Food

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A bill before the Arkansas legislature would end taxes on food and food ingredients.

House Bill 1661 was submitted Thursday, and would strip entire blocks from the Arkansas code, ending taxes on food and food ingredients.

“Food and food ingredients,” by Arkansas law, do not include prepared food items, such as a sandwich or a box of donuts. Alcohol-containing beverages are also not included as a food or food item by state statute. Excerpt from KNWA.)
