9/12/06-Gov. James Risch has signed a bill into law that raises the rate of the state sales and use tax to 6 percent. It takes effect Oct. 1.
The new rule, previously H1, also cuts property taxes by 20 percent.
The sales tax increase does not affect interstate motor carriers’ purchases of rolling stock, which is exempt in Idaho for those carriers. Truck parts, however, are not exempt.
