Senate Bill 2206 | Effective: 1-1-26 |
Senate Author: Bettencourt et al. | Senate Committee: Finance |
House Sponsor: Geren | House Committee: Ways & Means |
Current law provides a franchise tax credit for certain research and development activities and a sales and use tax exemption for certain property used in those activities, both of which are set to expire December 31, 2026. Senate Bill 2206 repeals the credit and exemption but amends the Tax Code to effectively maintain the franchise tax credit, revise the definition of "qualified research expense," and increase the amount of the credit.
