2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE
DOA:......Koskinen, BB0070 - Streamlined sales and use tax provisions
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the Uniform Sales and Use Tax Administration Act, granting rule-making authority, making an appropriation, and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
taxation
Other taxation
This bill adopts the substantive provisions of the streamlined sales and use tax agreement (agreement) for purposes of administering and collecting state, county, and stadium district sales and use taxes. The agreement is intended to simplify and modernize sales and use tax administration for the states that enter into the agreement and to encourage out-of-state retailers to collect the state, county, and stadium district sales and use taxes voluntarily. Under current federal law, generally, an out-of-state retailer who sells goods or services to customers in this state is not required to collect the sales tax or use tax imposed on such sales, if the retailer has no physical presence in this state. See Quill v. North Dakota, 504 U.S. 298; 112 S.Ct. 1904 (1992).
States that wish to enter into the agreement must adopt uniform definitions related to the administration of sales and use taxes and uniform policies related to sourcing sales of goods and services, bad debt allowances, refunds, and, to some extent, exemptions. Under the agreement, DOR may act jointly with other states that are signatories to the agreement to establish standards for certifying service providers and automated systems to aid out-of-state retailers with the collection of state sales and use taxes.
Under current law, "gross receipts" refers to the measure of the sales tax, and "sales price" refers to the measure of the use tax. Under the bill, "sales price" refers to the measure of the sales tax, and "purchase price" refers to the measure of the use tax.
The bill creates definitions for "alcohol beverages," "candy," "delivery charges," "dietary supplement," "food and food ingredients," "prepared food," and "soft drink."
The agreement provides that a state that is a signatory to the agreement may choose to tax or not tax all articles that are covered by one definition, but a state may not exempt from sales tax or use tax a particular item that is included in a definition. The members of the project working on the agreement approved a definition for "clothing." Therefore, in order to comply with the agreement, a state may either tax all clothing or exempt all clothing, but a state may not exempt certain items of clothing and tax others. This bill, therefore, eliminates the sales tax and use tax exemptions for cloth diapers and antiembolism hose.
This bill creates definitions for "durable medical equipment," "mobility-enhancing equipment," and "prosthetic device." Under the bill, the sale of such equipment and devices is exempt from the sales tax and the use tax.
Under the bill, generally, for purposes of determining which jurisdiction may impose a sales tax or use tax on a sale, if a purchaser receives a product at the seller's business location, the sale of that product occurs at the seller's business location. If a purchaser does not receive the product at a seller's business location, the sale occurs at the location where the purchaser receives the product. If the location of the sale cannot be so determined, the sale occurs at the purchaser's address, as indicated by the seller's business records. If the address cannot be determined from the business records, the sale occurs at the purchaser's address, as obtained during the consummation of the sale, including the address indicated on the purchaser's check. Finally, if the location of a sale cannot be determined in any other way, the sale of tangible personal property occurs at the location from which the tangible personal property is shipped. Under the bill, if the item sold is a digital good or computer software, and the digital good or computer software is delivered electronically, the sale occurs at the location from which the digital good or computer software was first available for transmission by the seller.
Under the bill, generally, the sale of a telecommunications service occurs at a location that is determined to be consistent with the provisions of the federal Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act.
This bill will be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a detailed analysis, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
