St. Louis County Council advances online purchase tax proposal
The St. Louis County Council took a significant step towards allowing voters to decide on a new tax for online purchases. They approved a use tax of approximately 3.5% on goods bought online, which could generate between $45 million and $75 million annually for budget needs. The proposal follows a similar rejected measure in 2022. Supporters argue for the tax due to a budget shortfall, while opponents worry about voter rejection and lack of spending transparency. The council plans another vote to finalize the proposal, which would appear on the August fourth primary ballot.
