The Pumpkin Spice Tax: Why You’re Paying More - Video

Daveed Tuck, Ex-IRS Auditor and Portland Tax Consultant unpacks the Pumpkin Spice Tax: A Seasonal Treat with a Hidden Cost.

Journey through history, from ancient Egyptian taxes on grain to Rome's first income tax, and fast-forward to modern-day Portland, where we face a unique fall tradition – the Pumpkin Spice Tax. Explore how products like the famous pumpkin spice latte, Oreos, and even beard oil carry hidden markups during pumpkin spice season. Trader Joe's, for example, charges a staggering 161% markup on their pumpkin spice pretzels, while Starbucks hikes its latte price by 18%. Surprisingly, Target offers a slight discount on pumpkin spice items, proving there's always an exception to the rule.
