RECOMMENDATION
Texas should expand the current state tax holiday to cover all items priced under
$100, purchased by family members of active military personnel during the tax
holiday period.
COMMENTS:
" The current three-day sales tax holiday, which occurs during the first weekend in
August, exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from the sales and
use tax.
" The sales tax holiday for military personnel would occur at the same time as the
current sales tax holiday but would be expanded to apply to all items priced under
$100 purchased by family members of active military personnel.
" Family members would have to present valid military identification verifying the
status of the military personnel in order to.receive the exemption during the holiday
period.
LEGISLATION REQUIRED
Chapter 151 of the Tax Code would be amended to create the expanded sales tax holi-
day.
FISCAL IMPACT
Assuming the expanded holiday would be implemented by the 78th Legislature and
would occur in August 2003, the estimated cost to implement this proposal would be
$3,144,000 to the General Revenue Fund and $6,000 to the State Highway Fund per
year. There also would be a cost of $870,000 per year to units of local governments.
