Schnucks Rewards Sales Tax Class Action Settlement
Case Overview
The regional grocer Schnucks, which operates primarily in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, agreed to a class action settlement regarding its sales tax practices. The lawsuit alleged that the company charged sales tax based on the original, full price of items rather than the reduced, discounted price when Schnucks Rewards members redeemed points for tax-eligible purchases.
Plaintiffs asserted that this billing method violated Missouri state law. Schnucks has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to a maximum settlement cap of $6.3 million to resolve the class action lawsuit concerning the sales tax charges.
