Tax 11.51(3)(3) Explanations of some taxable and exempt sales by grocers. For purposes of sub. (2): Tax 11.51(3)(a)1.1. “Candy” is defined in s. 77.51 (1fm), Stats., to mean a preparation of sugar, honey, or other natural or artificial sweetener combined with chocolate, fruit, nuts, or other ingredients or flavorings in the form of bars, drops, or pieces. “Candy” does not include a preparation that contains flour or that requires refrigeration. Tax 11.51(3)(a)2.2. This definition is intended to be used when a person is trying to determine if a product that is commonly thought of as “candy” is in fact “candy.” The definition is not intended to be applied to every type of food product sold. Tax 11.51 NoteExample: Many products, such as meat products, breakfast cereals, potato chips, and canned fruits and vegetables are not commonly thought of as “candy.” The candy definition is not applicable to products such as these since they are not commonly thought of as candy.
Tax 11.51 NoteNote: The definition of candy would be applied in a situation where a person is trying to determine if a product is “candy” as opposed to a cookie.
