Overview

Creates a retail and personal property rental TPT exemption as well as a use tax exemption for used machinery and equipment, including off-highway vehicles, utilized for agricultural purposes.

History

Statute outlines that the TPT retail classification is comprised of the business of selling tangible personal property at retail, and that the TPT personal property rental classification is comprised of the business of leasing or renting tangible personal property.

Current statute provides TPT exemptions in both classifications only for new machinery and equipment used for commercial agricultural purposes. (A.R.S. §§ 42-5061.B.14, 42-5071.B.2.b)

Current statute also provides use tax exemptions only for new machinery and equipment used for commercial agricultural purposes (A.R.S. § 42-5159.B.14).
