Eliminate certain sales and use tax exemptions and impose sales and use tax on certain services
Nebraska's LB 169 removes existing tax exemptions for specific services, requiring sales tax to be collected on them for the first time. It directly affects consumers and businesses using services like car repairs, haircuts, lawn care, legal services, and home maintenance that were previously tax-exempt. The bill repeals exemptions listed in sections 77-2704.53, 77-2704.56, and others, while adding these services to the tax base under the "Services purchased for nonbusiness use" category. This policy change shifts tax liability from the state to these previously exempt transactions, with the tax department mandated to report on such revenue impacts.
