Sales tax administration revisions.
HB 197 revises Wyoming's sales tax administration by clarifying key definitions, tax collection rules, and exemptions. It updates the definition of "vendor" to explicitly include remote sellers and marketplace facilitators, standardizes a $60 annual sales tax license fee for new vendors, and clarifies that county treasurers - not vendors - collect sales tax on motor vehicle registrations. The bill also modifies exemptions, such as removing sales tax on admission fees for county-owned recreation facilities (e.g., pools, sports centers). These changes aim to modernize compliance requirements and align with current business practices, directly affecting retailers, remote sellers, and local tax collectors.
