Bill > SB594

This bill amends West Virginia's consumers sales tax law to create an exemption for disabled veterans from paying sales tax on one motor vehicle. Specifically, it exempts from this tax one motor vehicle owned and primarily used by or for a veteran who has been rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as having a 90 percent service-connected, permanent, and total disability. This exemption can also apply if either spouse is a qualifying disabled veteran. The exemption will become effective on the date the motor vehicle is acquired or January 1, 2027, whichever is later, and will expire upon the death of the disabled veteran, not extending to a surviving spouse. The Tax Commissioner is authorized to create rules to implement this exemption.
