AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, TENNESSEANS WILL BE PAYING MORE FOR GROCERIES

As of Wednesday at midnight, Tennessee’s 3-month grocery sales tax holiday is over. The tax cut was part of Governor Bill Lee’s Tennessee Works Tax Act, which contained a $400 million tax cut, the largest tax cut in state history.
Tennessee has the sixth-highest grocery sales tax in the nation: a 4 percent state tax in addition to local sales tax. As of Wednesday, that sales tax will be added back to Tennessean shoppers’ bills.
