New State Law July 1st Grants Sales Tax Exemption for Farm Trailers
June 17, 2019
By: Dwayne Page
Farmers and nursery operators will benefit from a new state law that takes effect July 1.
Under legislation adopted by the Tennessee General Assembly and signed by the Governor this year, qualified farmers and nursery operators may obtain a sales tax exemption for any trailer used to transport farm products, nursery stock, equipment, supplies, and agriculture products or for any other agricultural purpose relating to the operation and maintenance of a farm. A sales tax exemption is already in place for livestock trailers.
The qualified farmer, nursery operator, or timber harvester must present a valid exemption certificate to the county clerk or dealer in order to claim this exemption.
The change takes effect on July 1, 2019. The current exemption on livestock trailers alone stays the same until July 1, 2019.
