Summary

Sales and use tax exemption; school-related items. Provides a sales and use tax exemption, beginning in 2006, for certain school-related items purchased during a specific three-day period during August each year. The exempt items are (i) school supplies, where the selling price of each item is $20 or less, and (ii) footwear and clothing where the selling price of each item is $100 or less. The bill also authorizes dealers to absorb the sales and use tax on all other items sold during the same time period and thereby relieve the purchaser of the obligation to pay such tax. Dealers who absorb such taxes are liable for payment of the same to the Tax Commissioner. View Full Text »
