The bill would amend Chapter 151 of the Tax Code to allow a sales tax refund for certain purchases made by grandparents.
A person could apply to the Comptroller for a refund of sales taxes paid on items purchased primarily for use by a child if the person was the grandparent of the child who lived at the person's residence, the person was the primary caretaker of the child, and the person had a family income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2005.
