Sales and Use Tax - Training on Computer Software. AMOUNTS PAID TO A RETAILER OF SOFTWARE FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE TRAINING ARE SUBJECT TO TAX EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2002.
Laws 2002, LB 1085, repealed the sales and use tax exemption for the amount charged by a retailer of computer software for training customers in the use of the software.
