KY farmers can now apply for new agriculture exemption number By Jill Midkiff Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department of Revenue (DOR) is now accepting applications from eligible farmers for new agriculture exemption numbers designed to protect the sales and use tax exclusions available to the agricultural community.

Under the provisions of SB 148, enacted by the 2020 General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Andy Beshear on March 27, 2020, all eligible farmers exempt from sales and use tax for the purchase of certain items must apply for and use their new agriculture exemption number when claiming applicable tax exemptions under KRS 139.481.

Letter: Scam phone call Sandra Coomer writes: I received a call from a Columbia number that I answered for business reasons. But the call was an automated call that stated a package had been stopped by Border Patrol that contained contraband. It said it had all my credentials. I was to hold for someone to come on the line to verify my credentials. Which I did not do. I just wanted the public to know of the scam. Thinks like that can totally mess up a person's life. 2021-08-24 12:55:50 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
