Career Center Food and Beverage Sales Exempt from Missouri Sales Tax, Says Department of Revenue

  • The Missouri Department of Revenue ruled that food and beverage sales at a public school district’s career center are exempt from Missouri state and local sales tax.
  • The exemption applies because the sales are part of the school district’s educational functions and activities.
  • Students operate the restaurant and coffee shop as part of their curriculum, learning entrepreneurship and business skills.
  • Normally, such sales would be taxable, but the educational context qualifies them for exemption under Missouri law.
