| Authority | Minn. Stat. 297A.61 |
| Last reviewed | 2026-09-30 |
Why
Minn. Stat. 297A.61, subdivision 52, excludes news or information products from digital books, and subdivisions 54 and 55 are closed lists of other digital products.
Information services are not an enumerated service under subdivision 3(g), and the Department of Revenue's digital products guidance lists news access and PDF charts as nontaxable.
Business vs. consumer buyers
Because Minnesota does not tax this category, buyer type does not change the answer.
Where the line is
- Audio, video, e-book and game deliverables are taxable digital products.
