SUMMARY
This bill provides that core vehicle parts are taxed under the sales and use tax laws based on the difference between the sale price of the purchased property and the trade-in allowance of the property taken in trade, except for transactions between dealers involving exchange of the property from inventory. Core vehicle parts are those components that when replaced are returned to the manufacturer to be rebuilt to original specifications and then used again.
