This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 11-15-9v, to the Code of West Virginia, specifically aimed at creating a tax exemption for funeral, cremation, and burial services. The bill states that, notwithstanding any existing provisions in the code, these services, as defined in section 30-6-1 and its subsequent sections, will be exempt from the consumer sales and service tax as well as the taxes imposed by section 11-15A-1 and its subsequent sections.

The intent of this legislation is to alleviate the financial burden on individuals and families during times of loss by exempting essential end-of-life services from taxation. This change is expected to provide relief and support to those in need of such services, ensuring that they are more accessible and affordable.
