A sales tax exemption goes into effect in Nebraska today on repair and replacement parts for ag machinery and equipment. Nebraska Farm Bureau worked with the Unicameral in getting legislation passed that removed that tax burden. Vice President of Government Relations Jay Rempe says that savings will bring much needed benefits to the state and local economies.
Rempe says with that savings, farmers and ranchers will use that to improve their operations.
Rempe says Nebraska was one of only eight states that had that tax and none of Nebraska’s neighboring states collected that tax.
