As of Jan. 1, 2025, Governor Laura Kelley implemented the final part of her food tax reduction legislation, which means there no longer is food tax on certain items sold at GCS. This mainly includes our groceries items such as candy, groceries, and frozen food. This excludes our kitchen items, fountains, and, of course, anything not related to this tax law such as beer, tobacco/cigarettes, medication, auto, etc. All items affected have been updated; however, the City of Waverly has a 1% tax rate on all items so the new tax rate on all of the food tax items affected is 1%. I am sure there will be questions moving forward when you view your receipt, so I wanted to get ahead of the curve and explain it to our customers!
