HB 977: Exempt sales of aircraft to nonresidents from sales tax

HB 977 proposes to exempt the sale of aircraft to nonresidents from Ohio's sales tax. Currently, the state imposes a 5.75% tax on retail sales of aircraft, but this bill would create a specific exception for transactions where the buyer does not reside in Ohio. The legislation amends existing state tax codes to remove this particular charge while leaving other sales tax rules for aircraft and general retail items unchanged. This change would directly affect aircraft dealers and private buyers who are purchasing planes for use outside of the state.
