Kentucky Sales Tax Rules for AI Software and SaaS: What Businesses Need to Know

  • 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.
