Repeal the Grocery Tax
======================


🚨
-
Why House Bill 231 Still Misses the Mark
🚨
-


For nearly two decades, Idahoans have called for one simple, sensible policy reform: repeal the grocery tax. Candidates have campaigned on it, voters have demanded it, and yet here we are—still taxing groceries in 2025. While House Bill 231 claims to offer relief by expanding the food tax credit and allowing a refund for those who keep receipts, it’s a weak substitute for real reform.

This isn’t just bad tax policy. It’s immoral.

 


A Tax on Necessity Is a Tax on Survival
---------------------------------------
Let’s be clear: food isn’t optional. When Idaho charges 6% sales tax on groceries, it’s taxing a necessity of life—just like taxing air or clean water. This isn’t about luxury goods or discretionary spending. It’s milk, bread, eggs, and vegetables. Taxing groceries hits every Idahoan, but it disproportionately punishes the poor, working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and anyone scraping by paycheck to paycheck.

 

Idahoans shouldn’t need to file paperwork to get back what never should have been taken from them in the first place.

 


HB231: More Bureaucracy, Not More Freedom
-----------------------------------------
House Bill 231 raises the food tax credit to $155 per person and offers an option to instead receive a refund for the actual sales tax paid on eligible food—up to $250 per person. Sounds good, right?
