TENNESSEE FOR ALL · TN4ALL COALITION

End the
Grocery Tax

Tennessee families pay a tax just to put food on the table — while corporations pocket billions in loopholes. Labor is fighting both sides of your grocery bill. Close corporate loopholes. End the food tax.

Why this fight matters

  • Tennessee is one of only ~13 states that still taxes groceries — a tax that hits low-income and working families the hardest.
  • The grocery tax is regressive: it takes a far bigger bite out of a worker's paycheck than a wealthy household's.
  • TN4All's solution is a fair trade: close the corporate tax loopholes that cost the state over $1 billion, and use it to end the tax on food.
  • Repeal bills target a July 1, 2026 start — and momentum is building on both sides of the aisle for the 2026 session.

Two halves of the same fight

Fair Price Watch exposes corporate price-gouging and surveillance pricing at the shelf. End the Grocery Tax attacks the tax stacked on top of that same bill. Whether it's the corporation or the tax code, working families are getting squeezed on groceries — and labor is fighting both.
