AI Summary

  • Exempts the first $7,142,857.14 of annual adjusted gross receipts from the 35% privilege tax on West Virginia Lottery racetrack table games operations

  • Applies to licensed racetrack table games operators, who would only pay the 35% tax on adjusted gross receipts exceeding the $7,142,857.14 threshold

  • Weekly tax payments to the Lottery Commission begin only after the licensee's cumulative adjusted gross receipts exceed the exemption threshold in a given license year

  • Maintains existing provisions for handling negative adjusted gross receipts (when patron winnings exceed gross receipts), allowing carryover to subsequent weeks

  • Tax remains in lieu of most other state and local taxes on table game operations, including sales tax, use tax, and municipal business and occupation taxes (property tax still applies)
