Adopt the Nebraska EPIC Option Consumption Tax Act and terminate tax provisions
LB 331 proposed replacing Nebraska's existing income, property, sales, and other taxes with a single "consumption tax" on goods and services, effective by 2028. It would have terminated the state income tax, property tax, sales tax, inheritance tax, and related laws by December 2027, while defining taxable items like groceries and education services. The bill aimed to shift the tax burden from income and property to consumption, with specific rules for exemptions and tax calculations. However, the bill was withdrawn on February 13, 2025, and is no longer active. As a withdrawn proposal, it did not become law or affect any taxpayers.
