[Sca-cooks] Getting discounted foods - was: Menus

[Terry Decker]

Making a blanket statement based on a limited group of western states (which 
tend to have liberal tax laws) is not a good idea.  Sales taxes are by state 
and locality and in some states if your non-profit or company isn't 
registered with the Secretary of State, you may not qualify for sales tax 
relief.  There is also the issue of use taxes, which are not universal, but 
are becoming more common, where if you are the end consumer or you have an 
out of state purchase delivered in state and do not qualify for an 
expemtion, you are responsible for paying the sales tax.

I wouldn't make an absolute statement about any state's sales tax policy 
until I had carefully read the state code.
