Repeals the tax imposed on the sale of bingo cards
HB 985 repeals a tax on bingo card sales previously imposed at two-tenths of one cent per card. This bill directly affects bingo suppliers who distributed cards in Missouri, removing a tax requirement they were obligated to pay. The repeal eliminates the specific tax rate and associated reporting requirements for suppliers, though the bill retains existing licensing rules for bingo equipment suppliers. The change simplifies financial obligations for suppliers by removing this tax burden.
