Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to create sales and use tax exemptions for purchases of design and engineering services and materials and equipment directly used in construction of new or replacement amusement rides or for lease of amusement rides to qualified operators in long established West Virginia amusement parks having historical character. We do not have access to the data necessary to calculate the reduction to the General Revenue Fund attributable to this bill. However, purchases of this kind are infrequent so the revenue impact would be minimal. Additional administrative costs to the Tax Department would be minimal.
