Missouri Manufacturers to Benefit From Sales Tax Exemption


 

New Law Exempts Energy/Other Inputs From Sales Tax

Senate Bill 30, passed during the 2007 legislative session, will provide Missouri manufacturers with tools they need to compete with manufacturers in other states and countries in the global economy. Manufacturers will now be able to take much broader exemptions for energy use as well as new exemptions for research and development activities. These inputs include energy sources, water, chemicals, machinery, equipment, and materials when they are used in manufacturing, processing, compounding, mining, or producing of any product or when they are used in research and development related to those activities. These inputs are also exempt when they are used in the processing of recovered materials.
