AB758,1,2
1
An Act
to amend
77.52 (13) and 77.53 (10) of the statutes;
relating to:
sales
2
tax exemption certificates for the sale of precious metal bullion.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides a sales and use tax exemption for the sale of precious metal bullion. In order to claim the exemption, the purchaser must provide an exemption certificate to the seller. The certificate is an electronic or paper certificate prescribed by the Department of Revenue. Under current law, many sales and use tax exemptions do not require the purchaser to provide an exemption certificate at the time of purchase. This bill eliminates the certificate requirement to claim the exemption for the sale of precious metal bullion.
For further information see the state and local 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:
