HB 5114 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Remove sales tax on gun safes and certain firearm safety devices

HB 5114 would remove the state sales tax on gun safes and specific firearm safety devices. This change applies directly to consumers purchasing these items, making them tax-exempt under West Virginia's sales tax code. The bill amends Section 11-15-9 of the tax code to explicitly add these products to the list of exempt items. It creates a concrete policy change by eliminating a tax burden on these safety products.
