Kelly Davis, Midwest director for the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, said the three-day tax holiday provides no relief for low- and moderate-income taxpayers throughout the remainder of the year and unfairly favors higher-income earners. “Unlike higher-income taxpayers, low- and middle-income families can’t always shift their shopping to take advantage of a holiday.”
She added the sales tax burden “takes a larger share of income from low- and middle-income families than from higher-income families.”
