TTR Announces Over 5,000 New Sales Tax Answers for Convenience Stores

(McMinnville, OR, April 10, 2015) – Today, TTR announced the release of its first ever tax answer library for convenience stores.

TTR worked closely with the largest food retailers in the United States. Based on valuable industry feedback, TTR added tax research for sales of food sold by convenience stores. TTR’s newly added tax answers distinguish between sales made by grocery stores versus sales made by convenience stores.

Why is that significant?

As many retailers are aware, exemptions for sales of food do not always apply to sales by a convenience store. In some states, sales of the exact same food is exempt when sold by a grocery store, but is taxed when sold by a convenience store. Sales of other items, like loaves of bread, are not taxable in either store.

These differences can lead to confusion and complexity.

With industry help, TTR has solved this problem by breaking out sales of food items into two separate libraries, one for convenience stores and one for grocery stores, providing tax professionals with clear tax answers.
