I have never seen a workable solution for that. Should people making under $30,000 a year have an ID card that exempts them from paying sales tax? If they did, I imagine a lot of their friends who were subject to sales tax would ask them to make purchases for them.
Or should they keep records of all the sales tax they pay and get a refund from the state every year?
When I was making $30,000 a year, my primary expenses were taxes (no sales tax), rent (no sales tax) and food (no sales tax). I paid very little sales tax because I had very little disposable income.
