New York to Tax Sliced Bagels
Saturday, August 28, 2010 10:04If I had to pick foods that represent the heart and soul of New York City, that list would include: pizza, street cart pretzels, gyros, and hotdogs, McSorley’s beer, and bagels… especially bagels!
But New York bagels are under attack. In an attempt to raise funds, the cash strapped Albany legislators are enforcing a tax on bagels. If a bagel is sliced, it’s a prepared food; therefore it is subject to sales tax.
