2(63) of the statutes; relating to: the sales and use tax imposed on a jukebox.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that, with regard to playing a jukebox, the sales tax is
imposed only on the sales of playing time on the jukebox. The sales tax is also not
imposed on the digital goods that are sold, licensed, leased, or rented for use on or
as part of the jukebox.
The bill also provides a sales and use tax exemption for the sale of the following:
1. Tangible personal property that is sold to a person in the business of
providing a taxable service through a jukebox if the tangible personal property holds
music for the jukebox and is used exclusively for the jukebox.
2. Tangible personal property that holds music and is sold as part of a jukebox
if the sales price of such property is separately indicated from the sales price of the
jukebox on the invoice that the seller gives to the purchaser.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be
referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed
as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
