Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Chapter 183 of the Tax Code to temporarily decrease the rate of the mixed beverage gross receipts tax.
The bill would amend Section 183.021 to provide that the rate of tax imposed on gross receipts of a permitee from mixed beverages is 4.7 percent beginning at 3 a.m. September 1, 2021. The rate of tax would be restored to 6.7 percent beginning at 3 a.m. September 1, 2023.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2021.
Methodology
The estimate represents a proportional reduction to the mixed beverage gross receipts tax estimate in the 2022-2023 Biennial Revenue Estimate adjusted for the effective date and expiration of the tax rate reduction.
The total amount of revenue reduction would be a reduction to the General Revenue Fund. Section 183.051 prescribes minimum percent shares of mixed beverage tax revenue that are to be distributed to counties and municipalities. Consequently, the reduced revenue could result in reduced distributions to counties and municipalities as determined in the General Appropriations Act.
