Nebraska sales and use tax exemptions that end under Gov. Pillen's draft property tax proposal

A draft plan led by Gov. Jim Pillen this summer calls for ending tax exemptions on more than 120 goods or services. The state sales tax rate would remain at 5.5 cents per dollar purchase. The State of Nebraska would retain all local sales tax revenue on those purchases instead of returning it to city or county governments. Click on column headings to sort exemptions alphabetically.

Estimates for fiscal year 2025-26 were shared during a July 8, 2024, property tax task force meeting at the Nebraska Governor’s Mansion. Rows highlighted in green are proposed at the statewide tax rate of 5.5 cents per dollar purchase. Rows highlighted in yellow are proposed at 2 cents per dollar. Other goods and services not highlighted would remain exempt.
