Reply To: Taxing shopping bags

It’s not a tax, it’s a fee, more like a bottle deposit (except you don’t get it back). I doubt if there’s any prohibition against stores not charging customers (just as they can include sales tax in the price of an item).

Actually its more like cigarette tax to deter people from lighting up
Does that mean that if a store gives out free cigs to people , it much charge tax like a plastic bag?
This whole plastic bax tax makes zero sense legally speaking.
If one wishes to recycle thier bags then go ahead , but to tax peple on free bags sounds ludicrous.
