Woman Sues Kmart Over Toilet Paper Tax.

[Johnboy60]

PITTSBURGH - A woman has sued Kmart for allegedly collecting a 7 percent state sales tax on a nontaxable item: a 12-pack of toilet tissue. Mary Bach alleges a Kmart department store in the Pittsburgh suburb of Monroeville improperly collected the tax on the $3.99 item, charging her $4.27 - or 28 cents too much.

Although most paper goods are taxable under Pennsylvania's sales tax code, toilet tissue is listed as a nontaxable item by the state Department of Revenue.

Bach told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette she was overcharged for the item at the same store twice before she filed the small claims suit last month in district court in Monroeville.

Frivolous as it may seem, she does have a case.

Yea, the tax laws are insane.

Example (IANATE) The Supersize drinks that are served in fast food places in some states are not taxable due to how many fluid ounces they hold, and would not be considered a single serving size
