Veterinary physicians push for tax exemption bill

Vermont veterinarians are hoping to formalize an unofficial sales and use tax exemption that has been applied to some veterinary supplies for 50 years.Veterinarians and their patients support the exemptions, which have been in place since 1969 relating to some human medical supplies and to some animals used in agriculture. Over the years, the exemptions came to be applied to a wide range of veterinary supplies used on all animals, companion or otherwise.
