LB 16 Nebraska · 108th Legislature First Special Session

Adopt the Nebraska EPIC Option Consumption Tax Act and terminate tax provisions

This bill proposes replacing Nebraska's current income, property, and corporate taxes with a new consumption tax on the purchase of tangible goods and services. Under the plan, the state would stop collecting taxes on wages, real estate, and business income starting December 31, 2025, while instead taxing the total price paid for items like groceries, vehicles, and professional services. The legislation defines specific rules for what counts as taxable property, such as excluding used goods and intangible assets like patents, and establishes registration requirements for businesses and designated courier services. Although the bill includes definitions for education, training, and various types of employment, it has been indefinitely postponed and is not currently in effect.
