Utah's online sales tax law would originally have been expanded to cover a broad range of digital purchases and subscriptions, including streaming video and music, digital books, and online gaming services, treating them the same as sales tax already collected on similar physical goods. A newer version of the bill narrows this scope: it would now apply Utah's sales and use tax specifically to amounts paid for access to digital video or audio works, such as subscription-based streaming services like Netflix or Spotify, rather than the wider set of digital products originally proposed. The bill would also clarify that transactions already taxed under Utah's separate Multi-Channel Video or Audio Service Tax—which applies to services like cable or satellite TV—are exempt from this new sales tax, so the same purchase isn't taxed twice. Additional technical definitions and clarifying changes are included to support how these rules are applied.
