Sales tax revisions.
HB 72 revises Wyoming's sales tax system by applying the tax to numerous previously exempt services, including personal services (like haircuts), business services (such as computer programming), and recreational activities (like gym memberships). It removes the exemption for food purchased for home consumption (groceries), meaning these items will now be taxed at the general rate, though counties can hold elections to exempt local food sales. The bill also reduces the statewide sales tax rate from 3% to 2.5% and repeals other specific tax exemptions. The changes take effect July 1, 2023.
