Study; Department of Taxation to study sales tax exemptions. Requests the Department of Taxation to study all of the sales and use tax exemptions. In conducting its study, the Department will compile data for each of the 10 categories of sales tax exemptions including, when possible, (i) the number (or an estimate) of entities taking the exemptions, (ii) the revenue loss broken down by types of organizations within each of the 10 categories as far as possible, and (iii) any other data it deems helpful in evaluating the exemptions and their impact on revenues. The Department of Taxation shall also describe problems with how the current exemption process works and recommend changes to improve it. It is a two-year study with a report to be submitted to the 2005 and 2006 General Assembly Sessions.
