"New Hampshire is proud to have no sales tax, and we're not going to let an out-of-state company try to sneak one in. The investigation seeks to determine the legality of this surcharge imposed by Vail Resorts."
"Vail Resorts frames the 3.2% charge as a compliance realignment, but local skiers noticed the added cost at checkout, leading to frustration among consumers."
"The effective price hike of nearly 7% for New Hampshire residents combines the new surcharge with a previous 3.6% increase in the base price for the Epic Unlimited Pass."
New Hampshire has launched an investigation into Vail Resorts for charging a 3.2% blended sales tax on Epic Pass products sold to residents. Governor Kelly Ayotte emphasized the state's pride in having no sales tax and the need to protect it from out-of-state companies. Vail Resorts claims the charge is for tax compliance, but it frustrates local consumers who face a nearly 7% price increase when combined with a previous base price hike. Critics argue the lack of communication makes the surcharge seem like a revenue recovery tactic.
