Taxes, Sales - As introduced, exempts the retail sale of fresh, frozen, and canned fruit and vegetables for human consumption from the food retail sales tax. - Amends TCA Section 67-6-228.
HB 633 would exempt the retail sale of fresh, frozen, and canned fruits and vegetables for human consumption from Tennessee's 4% food sales tax. This change directly affects consumers purchasing these produce items and grocery stores selling them, as they would no longer pay the tax on these specific foods. The bill amends Tennessee Code Section 67-6-228 to remove the tax on produce while maintaining the 4% tax on other food items. The exemption would take effect on July 1, 2025, if the bill becomes law.
