West Virginia Provides Certain Forestry Equipment Sales Tax Exemption

The West Virginia Governor signed a law that includes: 1) providing that, effective July 1, forestry equipment primarily used in the harvesting, processing, or transportation of forest products is considered personal property employed exclusively in agriculture and classified as Class I property, provided the equipment is owned by the producer of the forest products; and 2) providing that the consumers sales and service tax does not apply to the sales and service of forestry equipment, effective July 1. The law takes effect on June 9. [H.B. 4416, enacted 04/01/26]
