Bill To Eliminate Sales Tax On Clothing Fails

Posted:

The North Dakota Senate rejects a measure to get rid of sales tax on clothing.

Two of North Dakota's neighboring states don't have a tax on clothing.

But Senator George Sinner says Minnesota is now considering adding sales tax to clothing purchases over $100.

He says the body has passed all kinds of relief for taxpayers, but have not touched a single item of the sales tax.

"We can absolutely effect our tourism trade in North Dakota in a very positive way, we can do something we've talked about for months we can provide tax relief to every single North Dakotan," Democrat George Sinner said.

The bill failed by a vote of 14 to 33.
