Milbank to begin charging sales tax separately on Unity memberships starting Jan. 1, 2025
Summary
Administrator Steve Pendergrass told the council the city will stop absorbing more than $32,000 in annual sales tax on Unity memberships and will require consumers to pay sales tax separately beginning Jan. 1, 2025.
City Administrator Steve Pendergrass informed council that effective Jan. 1, 2025 the city will change billing for Unity memberships, programs and activities so that sales tax will be charged separately to consumers rather than included in the price. According to the minutes, sales tax currently absorbed by the city on Unity items amounts to more than $32,000 annually.
The policy change was presented as an administrative recommendation; council recorded the report but did not take a separate formal vote during the Oct. 14 meeting. Implementation details, such as updated invoices, communication to members and exact tax rates applied, were not listed in the minutes.
