Girl Scouts
fight proposed
cookie sales tax
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) —
The state of Maine is trying to
collect a few crumbs from the
Girl Scouts, slapping a 6 per
cent “snack tax” on sales of
Thin Mints, Trefoils, Samoas
and Do-si-dos.
The Girl Scouts say it’s a
half-baked idea to tax a non
profit group.
“We’re just a bunch of girls
trying to raise money for our or
ganization and we don’t need the
tax people picking on us,” said
Julia Payne, 13, of Houlton.
The state imposed a snack
tax in 1991 on cookies, chips
and candy bars. Initially, the
Bureau of Taxation wanted to
tax Girl Scout cookies on the
wholesale level but backed
down when challenged and re
turned $100,000 to the group.
Now the state argues that
the Girl Scouts must pay taxes
at the retail level because
they’re running a major retail
enterprise, more than just a
“casual sale.”
“A casual sale is hit-or-
miss,” state tax assessor John
LaFaver said Sunday. “Maybe
they do it one year and not the
next. It’s unpredictable, like a
lawn sale type of thing.”
Jane Hartman, a lawyer for
the Kennebec Girl Scout Coun
cil, said LaFaver is misinter
preting the law.
The chips will fall Wednes
day, when Superior Court Jus
tice Donald Alexander is to
rule on the legality of the
state’s action.
Hawaii has a sales tax on
Girl Scout cookies, but very
few other states do, because
the Girl Scouts are a nonprofit
organization, said Bonnie McE-
wan, spokeswoman for Girl
Scouts USA in New York.
“The cookie sale is a pro
gram experience for girls’ edu
cation skills and team build
ing,” she said. “It’s a fund-rais
er and makes local Girl Scout
activities possible.”
In Maine, the cookie sale
has been going on for 60 years.
Last year, the 16,000 members
of the state’s two Girl Scout
councils — the Kennebec and
the Abnaki — grossed more
than $3 million. Cookie profits
make up 60 percent of the
councils’ budgets.
“A part of scouting ... is
learning to be a responsible cit
izen. And part of that is paying
your taxes,” LaFaver said.
With tax, the price of a box
of cookies sold by the Kennebec
Council would go from $3 to
$3.18.
Julia Payne earned a ba,dge
last year for selling more than
150 boxes. She said she’s wor
ried that cookie sales will drop
and activities will have to be
cut if the price is increased.
“My goal is 200 for this year,
but with the tax it may have to
be 125,” she said.
