Sales and Use Tax Modifications
SB 213 exempts businesses that manufacture energy storage devices or equipment from paying sales and use tax on physical materials used to build these products and on machinery, equipment, and standard repair parts. The bill defines "qualifying energy storage manufacturing facility" to determine eligibility for this tax break. It also includes minor technical adjustments to existing tax code without requiring new state funding. This change directly lowers operational costs for qualifying manufacturers in Utah.
