- Kentucky applies sales and use tax to prewritten computer software and access services, including those with AI components.
- The tax applies regardless of whether the software is delivered physically, downloaded, or accessed remotely (e.g., SaaS).
- Modifications or enhancements to prewritten software remain taxable unless customization charges are separately stated.
- AI capabilities do not make software tax-exempt; only software specifically designed and developed for a particular purchaser (custom software) is exempt.
- The method of delivery does not affect the taxability of AI-enabled software.
