Over the years, the issue of tax free goods on military installations at the PX, commissary, Class VI store, etc. has been an issue of great interest to Congress. They have frequently threatened to end the tax free status as these were perceived to be unfair to local merchants. Local merchants vote for local politicians, soldiers don’t.
The government has repeatedly made concessions to keep the tax free privilege. These concessions have been things like keeping prices within a certain range of off post establishments, limiting store hours, etc.
I have been around military installations for 67 years and I have seen it over and over again. How much money has Bezos donated to Obama and the Democrats?
You have a point. At this time, it’s still an agency decision.
