New Laws That Go Into Effect in the DMV October 1st

It's best to be aware of the news laws when they going into effect, so you don't accidentally break one! In the DMV we have a few news laws that go into effect today, October 1st. In DC, there is a new DC soda tax. Bottled "soft drinks" will not have an 8% sales tax. Drinks meant for immediate consumption, which I am assuming means fountain sodas, will still have a 10% sales tax. Another new aspect to this rule, is a soft drink is now also considered any beverage with natural and artificial sweeteners that have less than 100% juice, or less than 50% milk, coffee or tea. Wait, does that mean I have to pay higher tax on La Croix?

Check out the entire list of new laws that go into effect today from WNBC 4's article below.
