Oklahomans could be getting some relief at the grocery store.

According to Oklahoma State Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat, the state Senate is expected to vote on a grocery tax cut today. Treat says the legislation is common sense and will help everybody, adding that this is the only tax relief the Senate is seeking this year as there is no way to ensure state services while adding additional cuts. Treat says eliminating the state portion of the grocery tax will save Oklahoma taxpayers nearly $400 each annually. If signed into law, the anticipated effective date would be around the end of August. According to estimates, eliminating the grocery tax would save average Oklahomans 5.5 times more money than a 0.25% income tax cut. Kansas lawmakers have approved a phase-out of the state tax on food, which is expected to go to zero in January 2025.
