Missouri Imposes Sales Tax on Yoga

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

Missouri decided to impose tax on Yoga based on recent court cases upholding the imposition of sales tax on services provided at fitness facilities. While Yoga is a fitness activity and there are many forms of Yoga, including versions that have no religious component; real questions are raised surrounding the legitimacy of sales tax for those versions of Yoga that are considered religious in nature. The Missouri Department of Revenue did state that it would evaluate different versions of Yoga on a case by case basis.
