AB 758 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: sales tax exemption certificates for the sale of precious metal bullion. (FE)

AB 758 modifies Wisconsin tax statutes to remove the requirement for sellers to obtain exemption certificates when selling precious metal bullion that qualifies for existing tax exemptions under specific sections (like 77.54(5)(a)3.). This directly affects businesses selling precious metal bullion (e.g., gold or silver coins/bars) that meet these exemption criteria. The key change simplifies tax administration by eliminating the need for sellers to collect and verify proof of exemption for these transactions. The bill does not alter the tax exemption status itself but streamlines the process for qualifying sales.
