The Wisconsin Department of Revenue recently released a statement about a new law change to provide retailers and consumers certainty that the 0.1% baseball stadium sales and use tax ends in 2020 (2019 Wisconsin Act 28).
The local professional baseball park district board plans to make certification to the department in March 2020 for the tax to end March 31, 2020.
