SB 748 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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

SB 748 removes the requirement for sellers to obtain exemption certificates from buyers when selling precious metal bullion. This change directly affects retailers selling bullion and simplifies the sales process by eliminating an administrative step for transactions already exempt from sales tax under existing law. The bill amends tax statutes to clarify that no certificate is needed for these specific exempt sales, streamlining compliance without altering the tax status of bullion purchases.
