Extension of Graphic Arts Exemption |
|
Note to PII Members: Our apologies: the June 1 issue of the Galley Proof newsletter has a bad ink to the legislative language (SB1691). Please click here for the text of the bill. UPDATE: Sunday, May 31, 2009 The Illinois Printing Industry's graphic arts exemption from state sales tax on machinery and equipment purchases, including repair and replacement parts, was set to statutorily expire on July 29, 2009. Senate Bill 1691 has been amended to include language that extends the credit through August, 2014 as well as language that extends the Manufacturers Purchase Credit through August, 2014. In addition, the definition of "graphic arts production" now applies only to tangible personal property produced for wholesale or retail sale. Both Houses of the Illinois General Assembly have passed SB1691 as amended. For the full text of SB1691, click here. Our thanks to the many state representatives and senators who understand the importance of the Graphic Arts Machinery and Equipment Exemption and the Manufacturers Purchase Credit to Illinois' graphic arts community and the state's economy as a whole. PII encourages you to contact Governor Pat Quinn's office to urge him to sign SB1691. Contact the Governor's office at: http://www.illinois.gov/gov/contactthegovernor.cfm. |
