According to Wyoming’s Vender Manual sales tax is “an excise tax or tax on consumption which is applied to retail sales, leases of tangible personal property, admission fees and some services which are subject to taxation per Wyoming law. The purchaser pays the tax to the vendor. Vendors must have a license and are responsible for collecting and remitting the tax to the state.” Many goods qualify for sales tax, so your best bet is to check out Wyoming’s vendor manual for specific details on what qualifies.
