Legislative History

Source: Laws 2005, LB 312, § 10. Annotations: Because the definition of manufacturing machinery and equipment limits an exemption from sales tax for the purchase of such machinery and equipment to items purchased by a person engaged in the business of manufacturing for use in manufacturing, a manufacturer was not entitled to obtain a refund of sales tax on building materials used in the construction of an ethanol production plant where the materials were purchased by a contractor rather than by the manufacturer. Bridgeport Ethanol v. Nebraska Dept. of Rev., 284 Neb. 291, 818 N.W.2d 600 (2012). Under section 77-2701.47 and subsection (1) of this section, the sale of manufacturing machinery and equipment includes the sale of items that are assembled to make manufacturing machinery and equipment. Concrete Indus. v. Nebraska Dept. of Rev., 277 Neb. 897, 766 N.W.2d 103 (2009).
