AB128,1,3
1An Act to amend 71.64 (8) (b) of the statutes;
relating to: the amount of the
2exemption from income tax withholding requirements for employees of a county
3fair association.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, in general, every employer must withhold from an
employee's wages an amount that is determined by the Department of Revenue
(DOR) according to withholding tables that are prepared by DOR. Current law
exempts from this withholding requirement any county fair association with regard
to an employee who receives less than $100 annually in wages or salary from the
association.
This bill increases the exemption amount to $500.
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 fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
