Strange Tax Laws
 

Last year, Tennessee became the latest of more than 20 states to tax illegal drugs. Under the law, when you acquire an illegal drug, you have 48 hours to report to the state and pay your tax, although you aren‘t required to identify yourself. Once you‘ve paid, you’ll receive stamps to put on your illegal substance to show evidence you paid the tax. You don’t have to identify yourself to pay the tax.


To help clean up Chesapeake Bay, Maryland residents must pay a “flush tax” tacked onto septic and sewer bills.


In Maine, anyone who grows, purchases or sells blueberries there will pay a tax.


In Utah, owners of “sexually explicit businesses,” where someone appears nude or partially nude, must pay a 10% tax.


If you want to buy a deck of playing cards in Alabama, be prepared to pay a tax.


In Mississippi, you’ll pay a 7% tax on all amusements, unless you are going to hear gospel music and the program is not mixed with “hillbilly or popular singing,” according to tax experts.


In Arkansas, you’ll pay a tax if you get a tattoo or nose ring.


Canada isn't exempt. In Ontario, boxes of breakfast cereal that contain a toy or bonus item are not subject to retail sales tax, provided the item is not liquor, wine or beer.
