The bill would amend Chapter 151 of the Tax Code to create a limited sales tax exemption for certain hurricane preparation and summer seasonal supplies. Under the provisions of the bill, hurricane preparation or summer seasonal items would be exempt if purchased within a period beginning on the first Friday in June and ending the following Sunday.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2007.
For the purpose of this analysis, the Comptroller of Public Accounts gathered data on the sale of the specified hurricane preparation supplies and summer seasonal items from a variety of sources including the U.S. Census Bureau. The Comptroller adjusted sales data to reflect sales made in Texas and for appropriate price range and exemption period; and then multiplied the adjusted data by the state sales tax rate and extrapolated it through 2012 to determine the estimate. The fiscal impact on units of local government was estimated proportionally.
