Should Omaha repeal the 2.5% occupation tax on restaurants and bars?
Omaha imposes a specific "occupation tax" on prepared food and alcohol, commonly known as the restaurant tax, which generates tens of millions of dollars annually for the city's general fund. Critics call it a nuisance tax that hurts local businesses and argue it was originally sold as a temporary measure or one meant specifically for stadium costs, not a permanent revenue stream. Proponents argue that it diversifies the city's tax base, allowing Omaha to keep property taxes lower than they otherwise would be, and that tourists help pay it.
