The gift sets are listed with the pantry items, so are they taxed or not. I would say yes, but I'm being questioned since the grilling one has so many seasonings in it.:confused:

I wish I could, but I'm not at home and I have someone asking me for their order on another floor. :(
 
Yes, the grilling one is taxed. It's probably because of the non-taxable items in it (the cards). But I think all of the gift sets are taxed, because they're considered gift items, not food items.
 
I put that Set in an open show for you. It is charged at the regular tax rate, not the Pantry Food rate. Since there is other things in there besides the spices probably.
