Summary

Wyoming exempts qualifying computer equipment, software and supporting power and cooling equipment bought or rented by a data processing services center from sales tax under Wyoming Statutes section 39-15-105(a)(viii)(S), when the center's qualifying purchases exceed $2 million a year. The purchaser must meet capital investment minimums ($5 million for computer equipment and software, $50 million for power and cooling equipment), obtain Wyoming Business Council certification of job creation, and keep records for the Department of Revenue. The companion use-tax exemption is not separately recorded.

What this does not establish

  • The enactment year was not re-opened, so no adoption or effective day is stored.
  • The use-tax counterpart in W.S. 39-16-105 is not part of this record.

Unresolved questions

None recorded.

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.

  • No related action is recorded.
