The stated purpose of this bill is to exempt sales of tangible personal property to safely store firearms, including, but not limited to, safes and trigger locks from the consumer sales tax.
According to our interpretation, the proposed bill would create an exemption from consumer sales and use tax for all sales of tangible personal property used to safely store firearms. The exemption would apply to sales made on or after the effective date of the amendment which is July 1, 2021. Based on the assumption that the exemption covers safes and trigger locks only, the passage of the proposed legislation would create a loss in General Revenue collections of $45,000 in FY2022 and a loss of $50,000 in subsequent fiscal years.
Additional administrative cost incurred by the State Tax Department are expected to be $5,000 in FY2021.
