Quick Poll - Sales tax on Diabetes 'stuff'
I recently realized that I'm paying sales tax to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for each box of Dexcom supplies that I purchase. The sales tax is not reimbursable, so if I order 10 boxes a year for a total of $2,400 I will support our glorious Commonwealth to the tune of $120.I'm starting to raise some issues about this with my local reps and the tax office here in Massachusetts, or Taxachusetts as some of us fortunate enough to live here will call it.
So I thought I should gather some information from my readers. If you live in the US and you've purchased either Dexcom sensors or blood glucose strips please let me know the following.
Note: This is for non-prescription items. Massachusetts has different rules for test strips if I get them on prescription, versus if I buy them over the counter. So please let me know if you're purchased these items without a prescription.
- What US state you live in
- Whether you paid taxes on these diabetes items.
- And if you did, what the tax rate was.
