Fiscal Detail and Notes
The changes made in this bill to the approach to taxation of rental property from imposing a sales and use tax on the purchase price of rental property to instead imposing sales and use tax on rental payments, also known as lease stream taxation, effective January 1, 2025, are identical to the changes made in PL 2023, c. 643, Part H, the 2024-2025 Supplemental Budget (LD 2214). Therefore, enacting this bill at this time has no additional fiscal impact.
