- States are increasingly adding environmental fees (e.g., bag charges, e-waste surcharges, recycling assessments) that complicate sales tax compliance.
- The taxability of these fees varies by state and fee type; some are taxable, some are exempt if separately stated.
- Common fees include bag and carryout fees, mattress recycling fees, e-waste recycling fees, and beverage container deposit programs.
- Businesses often struggle with compliance due to differing state rules and frequent changes, making these fees a common audit issue.
