Bill > HB2584

This bill provides a sales and use tax exemption for qualifying farm machinery and equipment purchased by eligible farmers in Washington State, aiming to support small and medium-sized agricultural producers with an annual gross income of less than $2,000,000. To qualify, the farm equipment must cost $10,000 or more and be used directly for crop production, and the farmer must provide an exemption certificate or equivalent data to the seller. The exemption is limited to one claim per eligible farmer per calendar year and is set to expire on October 1, 2036, with a provision for the farm income threshold to be adjusted for inflation starting in 2032. The bill also includes a performance statement for evaluating the exemption's impact on the number of small and medium-sized agricultural producers.
