How w ould M easure #1 change taxing and

perty taxes an d relatively high
purchases of taxable goods, would
pay higher to tal taxes. Some
firm s o perate in markets where
they w ould be able to pass the
additional taxes onto consumers
o r employees, others do not.
Sales and use tax, a retail tax,
is a tax on the sale o f tangible
personal pro p erty and services
im posed a t the retail level. The
proposed sales and use tax would
be a five percent tax on goods tangible personal p roperty only.
Services w ould n o t be taxed, n o r w ould real estate, stocks or
bonds.
G oods purchased by the federal governm ent w ould be exem pt,
as would m ost purchases by state and lcoal governm ents. M ost
purch ases by churches an d ce rta in n d n -p ro fit schools an d
charitable organizations would also be exempt.
