(1) All sales and other transactions not taxable under the State Sales and Use Tax Act, except motor fuels, are not taxable under the Special County Tax Act. Similarly, all sales and other transactions exempt from the state Sales and Use Tax Act, except motor fuels, are exempt from the Special County Tax.
