So a 2 liter bottle will have a .68 cent additional tax levied on the purchase....
Idiots.....
They just caused a black market to open up and will not even remotely make an additional million dollars in revenue but will most likely lose revenue
Nobody in their right mind will pay a penny per ounce tax on soda....when they can buy it literally a few miles away...
I don’t think it will be a black market. Berkley isn’t that large or walled off from adjacent locales without the tax. And they can’t make it illegal to possess a bottle of pop without “their” tax stamp.
It just means sales inside their city limits will plunge, and the merchants take the hit.
A 2 Ltr for $4.75?
I can get them for $1.49 at HEB without a sale and I have a $1 off 2 2-ltr bottles. So basically 4 ltrs with $2 plus sales tax, about 16 cents.
