File Your Claim →What Happened?
Dollar General, the discount retail chain with over 19,000 locations across the United States, was sued for allegedly charging customers sales tax on items that are legally exempt from sales tax under state law. Many states exempt certain categories of items — such as groceries, medications, and children's clothing — from sales tax, but Dollar General's point-of-sale systems allegedly applied taxes to these exempt items anyway.
The lawsuit alleged this was a systematic error affecting thousands of stores and millions of transactions, resulting in customers being overcharged on routine purchases. Dollar General agreed to settle the class action brought by affected shoppers.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
