Vermont § 9708 - Restrictions on advertising

§ 9708. Restrictions on advertising

• (a) No person required to collect any tax imposed by this chapter shall advertise or hold
  out to any person or to the public in general, in any manner, directly or indirectly,
  that the tax is not considered as an element in the price or amusement charge payable
  by customer, or that he or she will pay the tax, that the tax will not be separately
  charged and stated to the customer, or that the tax will be refunded to the customer. (b) Upon written application duly made and proof duly presented to the satisfaction of
  the Commissioner showing that in his or her particular business it would be impractical
  for the vendor to separately charge the tax to the customer, the Commissioner may
  waive the application of the requirement herein as to such vendor. (c) Whenever reference is made in placards or advertisements or in any other publications
  to any tax imposed by this chapter, the reference shall be in substantially the following
  form: “sales and use tax”; except that in any bill, receipt, statement, or other evidence
  or memorandum of sale or amusement charges issued or employed by a person required
  to collect tax, if the tax is required to be stated separately thereon as provided
  in section 9778 of this title, the word “tax” will suffice. (Added 1969, No. 144, § 1, eff. June 1, 1969.)
