School cafeteria tax break survives outsourcing
Arkansas exempts food, food ingredients, and prepared food sold in qualifying public, common, high school, or college cafeterias and dining facilities. These facilities must mainly serve teachers and students, not the public, and must not operate for profit. Hiring a for-profit company for services or management does not, by itself, remove the tax break. The changes take effect on the first day of the calendar quarter following the act’s effective date.
