AB 814 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: a sales and use tax exemption for sales of movie theater projectors. (FE)

AB 814 creates a sales and use tax exemption for movie theater projectors purchased by movie theaters. This directly affects movie theaters by eliminating sales tax on projector purchases, potentially reducing their operating costs. The exemption includes a revenue trigger: if tax revenues drop by $2 million due to this exemption, the state must notify lawmakers, and the exemption expires either 25 months after the bill's effective date or 3 months after the notification, whichever comes first. The bill does not change tax rates but modifies the tax code to exclude these specific equipment purchases.
