Summary
Sales tax exemption; energy-efficient products.
Provides a sales tax exemption for purchases of certain energy-efficient
products with a sales price of $2,500 or less made during a four-day period each
year in mid-October. 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 purchasers of the obligation to pay such tax. Dealers who absorb such taxes
are liable for payment of the same to the Tax Commissioner.
