Bill: HB1195
Bill Subtitle: TO AMEND THE SALES TAX LEVIED ON CERTAIN SERVICES; AND TO EXEMPT
RESIDENTIAL CLEANING AND JANITORIAL WORK FROM THE SALES TAX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic Change :
Sponsor: Rep. L. Johnson
HB1195 amends § 26-52-301(3)(D) to provide that the levy of sales or use tax on the sale of cleaning
and janitorial services would not extend to residential property. Under current law, the sale of cleaning
and janitorial services is subject to sales tax regardless of where the services are performed.
The term "residential" is defined as "a single family residence used solely as the principal place of
residence of the owner." HB1195 provides a sales tax exclusion for sales of cleaning and janitorial
services performed at residential properties. The sale of cleaning and janitorial services performed at
properties that do not qualify as "residential" property remain subject to sales tax.
The exclusion of residential cleaning services and janitorial work from sales tax would be effective on
the first day of the calendar quarter following the effective date of this act. An effective date of October
1, 2023 is assumed for purposes of the revenue impact below.
