Vending Firms Challenge State Sales Tax ruling
Four vending machine companies asked the Third Court of Civil Appeals to decide if they must pay state sales tax on non taxable sales. Arguments focused on two tax statute parts with equal weight and a separate 2 percent gross receipts tax. The plaintiffs contend the tax voids taxation on sales under 25 cents and that current interpretation is inconsistent.
