Starting July 1, 2026, this bill extends Utah's sales and use tax to amounts paid for access to digital audio-visual works, digital audio works, digital books, and gaming services — including streaming subscriptions like Netflix, Spotify, or similar platforms — regardless of how the content is delivered or whether the access is a one-time purchase or ongoing subscription. The bill also adds a new definition for "seller-hosted prewritten computer software" (software accessed online without downloading, like cloud-based programs) and clarifies that transactions already taxed under Utah's Multi-Channel Video or Audio Service Tax Act are exempt from this new sales tax to avoid double taxation.
