Sometimes, it really is just taxes. If we
assume that Costco pays the same base cost (1) for the same Bourbon used
in its Kirkland Signature brand and that the markup between CA and WA
(2) is roughly the same, we can see that taxes really do make a
difference. There are no distributors involved in this example. The
prices are actual prices from Tacoma and Temecula on a 1 liter bottle of
Kirkland Signature Bourbon.
Pretty bad when
California's tax system is more taxpayer-friendly...
