municipal tax; exemption; food

Summary

The measure would amend Arizona’s municipal transaction privilege tax rules so that cities and towns could not charge higher rates on any specific food items, packaging, or on food bought with federal nutrition assistance benefits. It also bars taxes on the manufacturing, wholesale, and distribution of food and on low‑cost meals sold to eligible elderly, homeless or disabled persons. If approved by voters, the change would apply retroactively to tax periods after its effective date.
