This bill proposes the addition of a new section, designated 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, the sale of 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 from the taxes imposed by section 11-15A-1 and its subsequent sections.

The primary objective of this legislation is to alleviate the financial burden on individuals and families during a difficult time by exempting funeral-related services from taxation. This initiative reflects a recognition of the importance of these services and aims to provide support to those in need.
