Sales and Use Tax Exemption Campaign

Stop Double Taxation on Secondhand Clothing!

Campaign Overview.

The Problem

Secondhand items, including clothing, repairs, and alterations, are often taxed twice: once when new and again when resold or repaired.

The Impact

Double taxation increases the cost of secondhand items, repairs, and alterations, making them less appealing to consumers. As a result, more items end up in landfills, contributing to waste.

Our Goal

To raise awareness and eliminate double taxation on secondhand clothing, repairs, and alterations, promoting sustainability and consumer savings.

“Many states tax secondhand goods, including thrifted items, repairs, and alterations. This means consumers pay sales tax twice: first when the item is new and again when it's bought secondhand.
