LB 55 Nebraska · 108th Legislature First Special Session

Provide for a luxury tax on certain purchases

This bill proposes a new luxury tax on specific high-cost items, including motor vehicles over $50,000, jewelry over $5,000, and clothing over $1,000. The tax rate is generally 2.25% of the purchase price, but it increases to 3.7% for items exceeding $400,000 and includes an additional 5% surcharge on the amount above certain higher thresholds for vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and luxury goods. Several exemptions exist, such as for military personnel and commercial vehicles, and the tax would be collected by sellers and added to existing taxes. If enacted, the law would take effect on January 1, 2025.
