CHEYENNE — Wyomingites probably won't see a big change in sales taxes this year after lawmakers tabled a sweeping bill that would have nixed most exemptions while decreasing the overall sales tax rate.House Bill 72, sponsored by Rep. Landon Brown, R-Cheyenne, was intended to simplify and update Wyoming's 'outdated' tax structure while accommodating the state's shift toward a service-based economy. (Under current state statute, services are exempt from sales taxes.)Lawmakers, however, ultimately decided to table the bill for the rest of the session.
