SB 6219: Newspaper supplement tax

Concerning the business and occupation taxation of newspaper-labeled supplements.

Summary

  • The definition of newspaper for B&O tax purposes is amended to add "any newspaper-labeled supplement produced in any media." This would include material posted on the Internet. As a result, advertising income related to web-based newspaper material would become subject to the 0.484 percent printing and publishing tax rate, instead of the 1.5 percent service rate.
