Prices May Be Rising in Big-Box Stores

The Wisconsin Supreme Court, stepped in today, eliminating the “dark store” tax breaks and this could have a significant impact on shoppers in the Ashland area. In a unanimous decision, it was decided that large national retailers like Wal-Mart, Tractor Supply, and Walgreens must pay taxes based upon the actual, assessed value of their properties. This will result in these retailers paying more in taxes. Let’s see if that increase is then transferred to us as we make purchases in these stores.
