  1  1    Section 1.  Section 422.42, Code 2001, is amended by adding
  1  2 the following new subsection:
  1  3    NEW SUBSECTION.  3A.  "Casual sales" includes,
  1  4 notwithstanding subsection 3, the sales or the rendering,
  1  5 furnishing, or performing of a recurring nature of tangible
  1  6 personal property or services by the owner if, at the time of
  1  7 the sale, all of the following apply:
  1  8    a.  The seller is not engaged for profit in the business of
  1  9 selling tangible personal property or the rendering,
  1 10 furnishing, or providing of services taxed under section
  1 11 422.43.  For purposes of this paragraph, the fact of the
  1 12 recurring nature of selling tangible personal property or the
  1 13 rendering, furnishing, or providing of services does not
  1 14 constitute by itself engaging for profit in the business of
  1 15 selling tangible personal property or the rendering,
  1 16 furnishing, or providing of services.
  1 17    b.  The total gross receipts from the sales of tangible
  1 18 personal property or the rendering, furnishing, or providing
  1 19 of services during the calendar year does not exceed five
  1 20 hundred dollars.
  1 21    "Casual sales", as defined in this subsection, includes but
  1 22 is not limited to, parking concessions on the seller's lawn or
  1 23 driveway and participation in antique auto swap meets.
  1 24    Sec. 2.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Act, being deemed of
  1 25 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.  
  1 26                           EXPLANATION
  1 27    Under the state sales and use taxes, an exemption exists
  1 28 for casual sales.  Current law defines casual sales as sales
  1 29 of almost all a person's stock in trade to another who will
  1 30 carry on the same business or a sale which is nonrecurring
  1 31 made by someone who is not in the business of making sales
  1 32 that are subject to the sales tax.  This bill includes as a
  1 33 casual sale the sale of tangible property or the furnishing of
  1 34 a service which is recurring if the seller is not in the
  1 35 business of selling or furnishing services and the total gross
  2  1 receipts from these recurring sales and services do not exceed
  2  2 $500.
  2  3    The bill takes effect upon enactment.
