Having been in the wholesale end of the vending business.... I will guarantee the state will lose tax revenue....
The vending operators can’t afford to raise their vending prices to handle the additnional new taxes....
They simply will not report the sales from their machines and keep the vending machine pricees the same not to lose sales....
If the state as an example 75. % compliance on reported vending sales to calculate taxes, it will drop down....
No way will the increased taxes collected will cover the non reported sales...
They probably will collect less in taxes when said and done...
You and me. I owned arcades and “sold” pay phones way back when.
