The statutes state that the tax could be at a rate of one-eighth of one percent, one-fourth of one percent, three-eighths of one percent, or one-half of one percent. This proposal is adding language in Section 67.547.3 that would prohibit a county from submitting to the voters any proposal that results in a combined sales tax rate of more than 1.5%. DOR notes that once a political subdivision adopts a sales tax, they notify the Department. DOR reviews to determine if the political subdivision has statutory authority to have a sales tax and calculates the aggregate of any they have. If approved, DOR has the new tax rate start in the second quarter after DOR receives it. If it is determined that the county did not have statutory authority or that they exceed their aggregate rate allowed, the county is notified that their sales tax is null and void. This proposal makes a one-time exception for sales tax elections that were held on November 8, 2022 (FY 2022). This proposal would allow a county that submitted a tax proposal to the citizens that violated the aggregate sales tax rate allowed, to be approved by DOR to collect that tax, as long as they did not exceed an aggregated 1.5% sales tax rate. This appears to be making a one-time exception to the rule for at least one county. If a county is allowed to start their sales tax, then DOR would start it in the second quarter after the effective date of this proposal. This will not have a fiscal impact on DOR. Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) note this provision would increase the allowable county sales tax rate from 0.5% to 1.0%. To the extent that this provision results in additional sales tax collections, this provision may impact TSR through the 2% DOR cost of collection Fee. Oversight notes that current law limits the combined amount of sales tax levied by a county to 1%. This act increases such limit to 1.5%, and provides that any sales tax levy approved during the November 8, 2022, general election shall be deemed to be in compliance with state law if the combined amount of sales tax levied pursuant to the County Sales Tax Act is not in excess of 1.5% Oversight will show the potential fiscal impact to locals as $0 (not approved by voters) to an unknown positive impact (increase in tax approved by voters). Oversight notes if a county approves a sales tax, DOR is allowed to retain 1% of collections which is deposited into general revenue. Oversight will show the potential fiscal impact to L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 4 of April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD general revenue as $0 (not approved by voters) to an unknown positive impact (increase in tax approved by voters). Section 67.582 - Law Enforcement County Sales Tax Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) note starting August 28, 2024, this proposal will allow any county to vote on a sales tax up to an aggregate 1% for the funding of law enforcement services. Currently, counties aggregate sales tax cannot exceed 0.5%. To implement a tax or to increase a tax they already have, a county must take the issue back to the ballot for their citizens to vote on. The Department has no way of determining which counties may seek to increase their sales tax rate in order to fund law enforcement. The Department notes that if a county approves a sales tax, DOR will collect and distribute it. DOR is allowed to retain 1% of the amount collected. The DOR 1% collection fee is deposited into general revenue. The revenue impact of this proposal is unknown. DOR will not have any administrative impact from this proposal. Oversight notes current law authorizes certain counties to levy a sales tax for the purpose of providing law enforcement services to such county, with the rate not to exceed 0.5%. This act authorizes such levy not to exceed 1% Oversight will show the impact to locals as $0 (not approved by voters) to an unknown positive impact (increase in tax approved by voters). Oversight notes if a county approves a sales tax, DOR is allowed to retain 1% of collections which is deposited into general revenue. Oversight will show the potential fiscal impact to general revenue as $0 (not approved by voters) to an unknown positive impact (increase in tax approved by voters). Section 67.1366 – Small Cities Transient Guest Tax Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) assume this provision would amend local transient guest taxes. This provision will not impact TSR or the calculation under Article X, Section 18(e). Officials from the Department of Revenue and the City of Kansas City each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. Oversight notes this section allows a city with a population of more than 100,000 to adopt a transient guest tax by a vote of their citizens. The tax currently can be used for the promotion, L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 5 of April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD operation and development of tourism. This proposal would expand the use of the tax to include paying for the operating costs of a community center. Therefore, Oversight will reflect no fiscal impact for this proposal. Section 67.1367 – Transient Guest Tax in Ste. Genevieve and Perry Counties In response to a similar proposal this year, (SB 169), officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) defer to the counties on the transient guest tax for specific estimates of actual collection costs. This proposal • Has no direct impact on B&P • Has no direct impact on general or total state revenues • Will not impact the calculation pursuant to Article X, Section 18(e). Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. Officials from St. Genevieve and Perry Counties did not respond to Oversight’s request for fiscal impact for this proposal. Oversight assumes this proposal authorizes Ste. Genevieve County and Perry County, upon voter approval, to enact a transient guest tax of not more than 6% per occupied room at hotels, motels, bed and breakfast inns or campground cabins per night for tourism purposes. Oversight assumes this proposal is permissive in nature and would have no local fiscal impact without action by the governing body and approval by a majority of voters. If a majority of voters approve this issue on the ballot, then there would be potential tax revenue for Ste. Genevieve and/or Perry counties. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a $0 (no voter approval) or unknown revenue impact for this proposal. Section 94.900 - Sales Tax(es) for Public Safety Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) note the following: City of Sunrise Beach This proposal allows a village with more than four hundred thirty but fewer than four hundred eighty inhabitants and partially located in a county with more than forty thousand but fewer than fifty thousand inhabitants and with a county seat with more than two thousand but fewer than six thousand inhabitants to adopt a sales tax for the purpose of funding public safety. DOR believes this is Sunrise Beach. DOR records show that Sunrise Beach has taxable sales of: L.R.

For the fiscal impact DOR will assume the one-half of one percent sales tax is adopted. However, for informational purposes DOR is showing how much would be collected if they just chose full one-half percent sales tax. Using the taxable sales and a 2% inflation rate in the future, DOR calculated the amount the Sunrise Beach would collect, and the fee retained by DOR as: DOR notes that this proposal would become effective on August 28, 2025, and the first election this issue could be presented to the voters would be the April 2026 general municipal election. This sales tax would become effective on the first day of the second calendar quarter after the director of revenue receives notice of the adoption of the sales tax, which is estimated to be October 1, 2026 (FY 2027) if adopted by the voters. Sales tax is remitted one month behind collection of the tax, so DOR estimates an impact for FY 2027 of 8 months.

In order to qualify for the PTC program there are income eligibility requirements, and a person must: Be over the age of 65, Or 100% disabled, Or a 100% disabled veteran, Or at least 60 and the qualifying widow of someone in the previous categories. For homeowners, the PTC provides a credit to offset the amount of actual property tax paid by the homeowner. The credit is up to $1,100 in property tax actually paid but the credit amount phases out as an individual’s income rises. The homeowner’s credit is for those with incomes of less than $30,000. It should be noted, there is no limit on the number of individuals who can receive the credit annually. The PTC also currently provides a credit to offset the amount of property tax included in a taxpayer’s rent payment. The tax credit for renters is up to $750 in property tax paid and to qualify a renter must have an income less than $27,500. The amount of the credit does phase out as income rises and there is no limit on the number of renters who can receive the credit annually. This proposal says that most of the modifications of the property tax credit will begin on January 1, 2026. DOR notes that the majority of the PTC tax returns are received in their office between January and April of each year. DOR assume that the changes made by this proposal would fully impact FY 2026. Proposed Changes This proposal would increase the income allowance for PTC claimants by $800 for renters who are married (filing combined) and $1,800 for homeowners who are married (filing combined) starting with calendar year 2026. L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 13 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD This proposal would increase the maximum PTC credit amount for renters and homeowners. Renters would increase from $750 to $1,055 and homeowners would increase from $1,100 to $1,550 starting with calendar year 2026. Additionally, this proposal allows this credit amount to be adjusted annually by the CPI. For fiscal note purposes, DOR uses a 2% inflation factor annually.

This proposal also increases the maximum income limits allowed to qualify for the PTC. However, it limits the PTC to those with a filing status of “single” or “married filing combined”. Therefore, those who check the “married filing separate” box and those that do not check a box will no longer be eligible for the PTC credit.

They claimed $798,801 and therefore, this would result in a savings to general revenue of these filers no longer being eligible for the PTC credit. In addition to increasing the PTC maximum income limit, this proposal starting January 1, 2027, will allow the maximum limit to be increased annually by the CPI. For fiscal note purposes, DOR uses a 2% inflation factor. Therefore, DOR can expect the incomes to increase as follows: Maximum IncomeRenterHomeowner Calendar Year SingleMarriedSingleMarried Current$27,500 $30,000 2026$38,200 $42,200 $41,000 $48,000 2027$38,964 $43,044 $41,820 $48,960 2028$39,743 $43,905 $42,656 $49,939 2029$40,538 $44,783 $43,509 $50,938 2030$41,349 $45,679 $44,379 $51,957 *Assumes 2% average annual inflation. DOR notes that the PTC credit is calculated using a formula that takes into account that as an individual’s income rises the amount of the credit, they are eligible for decreases. Currently for every $300 increase in income the tax credit amount given decreases $25. This proposal increases the phase-out increments used when running the calculation. It increases the income limit from $300 to $495 and then allows it to be inflation adjusted in future fiscal years. DOR uses a 2% inflation factor for fiscal note purposes. This proposal also changes the formula to cap the tax credit reduction to 2%. Currently the credit is reduced by 1/16% for each $300 increment for a maximum reduction of 4%. This would change the $300 to $495 and change the 4% to 2%. Under current law, the reduction cap is not met however, this proposal would limit both the renters and homeowners. After 32 reductions the maximum tax credit allowed would remain constant. L.R.

Impact of Maximum Credit and Slower Credit Phase-Out (Formula Changes) Increasing the maximum credit and making changes to how the formula calculates the amount of credit each person gets will impact the current filers of the program. If no additional people were allowed in the program, this is the impact to the current filers from the changes in this proposal. Single Renters In tax year 2023, there were 28,534 single renters who claimed the PTC with a maximum credit of $750.

Using the individual income tax system, DOR is able to determine the number of additional people that would qualify with an income fitting the new limits in the proposal. Adding these new people into the program will result in the following impact. Since DOR does not know how many of these additional people are homeowners and renters, DOR pulled the tax year 2023 PTC claims and found the current percentage of homeowners and renters.

For the simplicity of the fiscal note, DOR will use this same split for the new people being added under this proposal as the current split. Single Renters 2026 L.R.

No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 30 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD In response to a similar proposal this year, (SB 64), officials from the Office of Administration – Budget & Planning note: This proposal would make multiple changes to the property tax credit (PTC). Section 135.010 would increase the income allowance for PTC claimants by $800 for renters who are married (filing combined) and $1,800 for homeowners who are married (filing combined) starting with calendar year 2026. B&P notes that because this provision is effective for calendar year 2026, it will begin affecting state revenues in FY26 as annual PTC claims are filed beginning in January. B&P further notes that the peak PTC claims are January through April each year. Section 135.025 would increase the maximum PTC credit amount. Section 135.030.1 would increase the maximum income limits allowed to qualify for the PTC. Section 135.030.2 would increase the phase-out increments, used when calculating the PTC credit based on an individual’s income. B&P notes that because these provisions are effective for calendar year 2026, they will begin affecting state revenues in FY26 as annual PTC claims are filed beginning in January. B&P further notes that the peak PTC claims are January through April each year. Section 135.025 would increase the renter credit from $750 (current law) to $1,055 and the homeowner credit from $1,100 (current law) to $1,555 starting with calendar year 2026. Beginning calendar year 2027, the tax credit amounts shall be adjusted annually by CPI-U for the Midwest Region. For the purpose of this fiscal note, B&P will assume a 2% average annual inflation rate. Table 1 shows the estimated credit amount over time.

Therefore, this language excludes all other filing status types, such as married filing separate or individuals that do not indicate a filing status. In tax year 2023, there were 1,280 individual who filed the PTC with a filing status other than single or married filing combined, for total credit claims of $798,801. Therefore, this provision will increase GR by $798,801 starting with FY26. Beginning January 1, 2027, the maximum income limits shall be adjusted annually for inflation using CPI-U. For the purpose of this fiscal note, B&P will assume a 2% average annual inflation rate. Tables 3 shows the maximum income limits by tax year. L.R.

Section 135.025.2 would increase the phase-out income increments from $300 (current law) to $495 beginning with calendar year 2026. The income increment amounts shall the be adjusted annually for inflation using CPI-U. B&P notes that this proposal does not state when such inflation adjustments shall occur. For the purpose of this fiscal note, B&P assumes that the adjustments will occur at the same time as other inflation adjustments contained within this proposal. B&P will assume a 2% average annual inflation rate. Section 135.030.3 caps the reduction in the tax credit to 2%. B&P notes that under current law, the tax credit is reduced by (1/16)% for each $300 increase in a taxpayer’s income, with a maximum reduction of 4.0%. This proposal would change the reduction calculation to (1/16%) for every $495 (adjusted for inflation) increase in a taxpayer’s income, with a maximum reduction of 2.0%. B&P further notes that under current law, the reduction cap is never met with the existing income limits; however, the 2% reduction limit would be binding for both renters and homeowners. Therefore, after 32 reductions the minimum tax credit, based on property tax paid, will remain a constant amount. L.R.

Maximum Credit and Slower Credit Phase-Out Single – Renter In tax year 2023, 28,534 single renters claimed the PTC, with a maximum possible credit of $750. B&P notes that the PTC phases-out as an individual’s income increases. This proposal slows and limits the income phase-out. 2026 Using tax year 2023 data, the most recent available, and the phase-out formula, B&P estimates that increasing the PTC credit from $750 to $1,055, increasing the phase-out limit from $300 to $495, and capping the credit value reduction at 2% could reduce GR by $6,886,188 beginning FY26. 2027 Using tax year 2023 data, the most recent available, and the phase-out formula, B&P estimates that increasing the PTC credit from $750 to $1,076, increasing the phase-out limit from $300 to $505, and capping the credit value reduction at 2% could reduce GR by $7,329,438 beginning FY27. 2028 Using tax year 2023 data, the most recent available, and the phase-out formula, B&P estimates that increasing the PTC credit from $750 to $1,098, increasing the phase-out limit from $300 to $515, and capping the credit value reduction at 2% could reduce GR by $7,794,365 beginning FY28. 2029 L.R.

However, it is likely that as the income limit increases, the homeownership rate would also increase. Maximum Income Limits Single – Renter 2026 In tax year 2023, the most recent complete year available, there were 218 individuals who filed as qualifying widow/widower, 29,700 individuals who claimed they were 65 years or older, and 1,504 individuals who claimed they were disabled on their individual income tax forms, filed as single, and had a Missouri Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) between $27,500 and $38,200. Using the homeowner/renter split discussed above, B&P assumes that of those individuals – 71 of the widow(er), 11,976 age 65 and older, and 1,163 disabled could potentially be renters. Therefore, B&P estimates that 13,210 additional people could qualify for the renter PTC in calendar year 2026. In addition, based on the additional maximum credit and slower phase-out discussed above, B&P estimates that the average PTC credit for these individuals may be $458. Therefore, B&P estimates that increase the maximum income limit for renters could reduce GR by $6,044,175 (13,210 x $458) in FY26. L.R.

Using the homeowner/renter split discussed above, B&P assumes that of those individuals - 77 of the widow(er), 12,776 age 65 and older, and 1,240 disabled could potentially be renters. Therefore, B&P estimates that 14,093 additional people could qualify for the renter PTC in calendar year 2027. In addition, based on the additional maximum credit and slower phase-out discussed above, B&P estimates that the average PTC credit for these individuals may be $472. Therefore, B&P estimates that increase the maximum income limit for renters could reduce TSR and GR by $6,648,693 (14,093 x $472) in FY27. 2028 In tax year 2023, the most recent complete year available, there were 254 individuals who filed as qualifying widow/widower, 33,670 individuals who claimed they were 65 years or older, and 1,701 individuals who claimed they were disabled on their individual income tax forms, filed as single, and had a Missouri Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) between $27,500 and $39,743. Using the homeowner/renter split discussed above, B&P assumes that of those individuals - 82 of the widow(er), 13,577 age 65 and older, and 1,316 disabled could potentially be renters. Therefore, B&P estimates that 14,975 additional people could qualify for the renter PTC in calendar year 2028. In addition, based on the additional maximum credit and slower phase-out discussed above, B&P estimates that the average PTC credit for these individuals may be $493.

Section 137.1050 - Emergency Services Sales Tax Oversight notes under current law, if in any tax year after the eligible taxpayer's initial credit year the taxpayer's real property tax liability is lower than such liability in the initial credit year, such tax year shall be considered the taxpayer's new initial credit year for all subsequent tax years. This provision clarifies that the taxpayer’s initial credit year for the calculation of the Homestead property tax credit shall not change if the taxpayer’s property tax liability is less than his/her tax liability in the initial credit year due to a levy adjustment made pursuant to 321.905. Additionally, Oversight notes that current law authorizes ambulance and fire protection districts in certain counties to propose a sales tax at a rate of up to 0.5%. This act allows such districts to propose a sales tax of up to 1.0% and repeals a prohibition on certain counties imposing such tax. (Section 321.552) Oversight assumes this proposal adds clarifying language for implementation measures for the property tax credit established in SB 190 (2023). Oversight notes this credit is optional and a county must submit the proposal to voters or pass a county ordinance in order to participate. Section 143.121 - Income Tax Subtraction for Capital Gains Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) starting January 1, 2025, this proposal would allow a taxpayer, both individuals and corporations, to subtract from their Federal adjusted gross income (FAGI) any amount reported as capital gains for determining their Missouri adjusted gross income (MAGI). DOR notes this proposal would become effective on August 28, 2025, in the middle of the 2025 tax year. DOR notes that these changes will begin January 1, 2025, however, they will not impact state revenue until the first tax returns are filed in January 2026 (FY 2026). DOR also notes this would limit the amount of time taxpayers have to adjust their withholdings for the tax year. All sources of income are reported on the federal return and only the total income amount (FAGI number) is reported on the Missouri return. DOR used its internal Income Tax Model that L.R.

DOR notes that subtractions do not reduce revenues on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but rather in proportion to the top tax rate applied. SB 3 adopted in 2022, lowers the individual income tax rate over a period of years based on certain revenue triggers. The individual income tax rate for tax year 2025 is 4.7%. For fiscal note purposes only, and based on the current consensus revenue estimates, DOR will show the next reduction of the individual income tax rate occurring in consecutive years starting in tax year 2028.

The current corporate income tax rate is 4%. DOR used its internal Income Tax Model that contains confidential taxpayer data from both the federal and state tax returns to calculate the fiscal impact of this proposal to corporations. DOR notes the data was only able to pull information from the electronically filed returns and not those filed on paper. Therefore, DOR notes the actual impact will be larger than estimated. This proposal will not become effective until August 2025 and taxpayers pay declaration payments on capital gains four times a year in anticipation of their final tax liability. Corporate declarations are due in April, June, September, and December. Therefore, corporations will have a limited time to adjust their declarations to account for this new subtraction. Based on this, DOR will reflect the full impact of tax year 2025 in FY26. Based on actual collections data, DOR notes that 45% of corporate income taxes are paid during fiscal year 1 and 55% are paid during fiscal year 2. This will result in a loss to general revenue of greater than $183,626,879 in FY 2026 and of greater than $126,639,225 in FY 27 and beyond. Summary This proposal is estimated to impact general revenue by: Table 3: Impact SummaryFiscal Year Individual Income Corporate IncomeTotal FY26*($157,686,124)could exceed($183,626,876)could exceed($341,313,000)FY27($111,032,460)could exceed($126,639,225)could exceed($237,671,685)FY28($110,043,636)could exceed($126,639,225)could exceed($236,682,861)FY29($107,677,480)could exceed($126,639,225)could exceed($234,316,705)FY30($106,287,765)could exceed($126,639,225)could exceed($232,926,990)*FY26 will be impacted by 100% of the subtraction for tax year 2025 and a portion of the subtraction for tax year 2026. This proposal will require DOR to modify the department’s MO-A and MO-1040 forms at a cost of $14,654 ($7,327 apiece), the department’s website at a cost of $2,200 and the department’s individual income tax computer programming system at a cost of $3,664. These items are estimated to cost $20,518. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the above costs to DOR to implement this proposal in FY 2026. L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 51 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) note the following: Individual Income Tax B&P notes that under Section 143.011, the top individual income tax rate will be 4.7% for tax year 2025. In addition, based on current revenue forecasts and average revenue growth, B&P estimates that net general revenue growth will not be high enough to trigger another reduction until at least tax year 2028 (FY27 revenue). For the purpose of this fiscal note, B&P will assume that the remaining two 0.1% reductions will occur for tax year 2028 (4.6%) and tax year 2029 (4.5%). Using tax year 2022 data, the most recent complete tax year available, B&P estimates that this proposal could reduce GR by $106,464,031. Once SB 3 (2022) has fully implemented, this proposal could reduce GR by $101,915,438 annually. Table 1 shows the estimated impact by tax year. Table 1: Estimated Impact by Tax Year - Individual Tax YearGR Impact 2025($106,464,031)2026($106,446,013)2027($106,438,634)2028($104,193,953)2029($101,915,438) B&P notes that this proposal will not become effective until August 2025. B&P further notes that taxpayers pay declarations payments on capital gains four times a year in anticipation of their final tax liability. Individual declarations are due in January, April, June, and September. Therefore, individuals would only have September 2025 and January 2026 to adjust their declarations to account for this new subtraction. Based on this, B&P will reflect the full impact from the tax year 2025 subtraction as occurring during FY26. Beginning with tax year 2026, individuals will adjust their declarations payments. Based on actual collections data, B&P estimates that 42% of individual income taxes are paid during fiscal year 1 and 58% are paid during fiscal year 2. Therefore, B&P estimates that this proposal could reduce GR by $151,171,356 in FY26. Once SB 3 (2022) has fully implemented, this proposal could reduce GR by $101,915,438 annually. Table 2 shows the estimated impact by fiscal year. L.R.

Fiduciary Tax B&P notes that trusts are allowed to take all subtractions afforded to individual taxpayers. Therefore, starting with tax year 2025 this provision would also allow a capital gains subtraction for the fiduciary tax. Using federal and state tax data, B&P estimates that this provision could reduce GR by an amount that could exceed $34,628,318 in FY26 (for tax year 2025). Once SB 3 (2022) has fully implemented, this provision may reduce GR by an amount that could exceed $33,154,773 annually. Corporate Income Tax This provision would allow corporations to subtract capital gains income from their Missouri taxable income the year after the top individual income tax rate (Section 143.011) is reduced to 4.5% or lower. Based on current forecasts and average revenue growth, B&P estimates that the individual income tax rate may be 4.5% starting with tax year 2029. Therefore, this subtraction may be available for corporations starting with tax year 2030. Using tax year 2022 data, the most recent complete tax year available, B&P estimates that this proposal could exempt at least $3,165,980,618 in capital gains from Missouri income tax. B&P notes that this number only includes electronically filed corporate tax returns; therefore, the actual amount of capital gains exempted could exceed $3,165,980,618. Using the corporate tax L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 53 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD rate of 4.0%, B&P estimates that this proposal could reduce GR by at least $126,639,225 per year. Beginning with tax year 2030, corporations will adjust their declarations payments. Based on actual collections data, B&P estimates that 45% of corporate income taxes are paid during fiscal year 1 and 55% are paid during fiscal year 2. Therefore, B&P estimates that this proposal could reduce GR by an amount that could exceed $56,987,651 in FY30. Beginning in FY31, this proposal could reduce GR by an amount that could exceed $126,639,225 annually. Summary B&P estimates that this proposal could reduce TSR and GR by an amount that could exceed $185,799,674 in FY26. Once fully implemented, this proposal could reduce TSR and GR by an amount that could exceed $261,709,436. Table 3 shows a summary of the estimated impacts by fiscal year.

Oversight notes both DOR and B&P’s estimates include data from DOR’s internal Income Tax Model. Oversight notes that it does not currently have the resources and/or access to state tax data to produce a thorough independent revenue estimate and is unable to verify the revenue estimates L.R.

Therefore, for the purpose of this fiscal note, Oversight will note B&P’s estimated impact for this proposal. Oversight notes the state individual income tax rate (4.7% in CY 2025) is to be reduced in annual increments (if certain triggers are met) until it reaches 4.5% pursuant to SB 3 (2022). Based on current revenue forecasts and average revenue growth, DOR and B&P project the next reduction(s) of the individual income tax rate occurring in consecutive years starting in tax year 2028. Section 144.029 – Diaper and Feminine Hygiene Sales Tax Exemption Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) note: Sales Tax Law Changes DOR notes Section 144.029.2(1) changes the reference from the Missouri pesticide registration law to the Missouri pesticide registration act. It also expands the sections covered by this act from 281.220 to 281.310 to 281.210 to 281.310, RSMo. These changes will not fiscally impact DOR. Section 144.029.2(18) updates an out-of-date statutory reference. This will not fiscally impact DOR. Section 144.029.2(25) removes the sectional reference 4091, which was repealed by Congress. This will not fiscally impact DOR. Diaper Sales Tax Exemption DOR notes beginning August 28, 2025, the tax levied and imposed under Chapter 144 (Section 144.029.2(47)) on all retail sales of kid’s diapers and adult diapers shall be exempt from taxation. This exemption extends to the local sales tax rate as well as the state sales tax rate. The current state sales tax rate of is 4.225%. The current state tax rate is distributed as: General Revenue is 3% School District Trust Fund is 1% (Section 144.701) Conservation Commission Fund is .125% (Article IV, Section 43(a)) Parks, Soil & Water Funds .1% (Article IV, Section 47(a)) In an effort to more accurately reflect the estimated local impact, B&P and DOR have moved from a population weighted average local sales tax rate to a location weighted average local sales tax rate. This change was made to reflect where sales actually occur, rather than exclusively where people live. For fiscal note purposes, the local sales tax rate will be 4.46%. Kid Diapers L.R.

DOR found the price of diapers vary from $0.16 per diaper for generics to $0.60 for name brand. Prices of diapers also depend on the size of the diaper. Estimates by various children’s organizations indicate that an infant in the first year of life goes through 2,500 diapers. The next two years as toddlers they go through 1,500 diapers annually.

The Department notes that it is estimated that people with minor to moderate incontinence wear approximately 4 diapers per day while those with those with full urinary or fecal incontinence wear 6 diapers per day. The Department estimates that approximately 290,994 individuals aged 65 and over would utilize the four adult urinary incontinence diapers while 64,665 would wear 6 adult diapers daily.

Oversight notes DOR requests a one-time cost for website income-tax changes and updates to comply with the proposed language; however, Oversight notes that DOR receives appropriation for routine website updates and will not show those costs in the fiscal note. Officials from the Office of Administration – Budget & Planning (B&P) note: B&P assumes that this proposal would exempt all sales of diapers, incontinence products, and feminine hygiene products from sales tax beginning August 28, 2025. B&P notes that it is unclear whether the language in subdivision 144.029.2(47) is attempting to only exempt these purchases from state sales tax and not local sales tax. However, all items L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 59 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD under subsection 144.029.2 are exempted from both local and state sales tax. Therefore, B&P will reflect both a state and local revenue loss from the proposed sales tax exemptions. Feminine Hygiene Products B&P assumes that tased on information from multiple sites, B&P estimates that women purchase an average of 6.8 to 7.2 boxes of tampons (average price $7 to $15) and 1.7 to 1.8 boxes (average price $6 to $15) of pads and liners per year (using the average cycle length of 28 to 30 days). B&P was also able to determine that the average age for menstruation is 12-51 and based on data provided by the United State Census 2023 population estimates (the most recent complete year available), there are approximately 1,565,677 woman between those ages residing in Missouri. Therefore, B&P estimates total sales of $89,953,942 ($57.45 cost per year x 1,565,677 women) to $212,601,230 ($135.79 cost per year x 1,565,677 women) may be impacted by this proposal. B&P estimates that this provision could reduce TSR by $3,800,554 to $8,982,402 annually. Using the sales location weighted average local sales tax rate of 4.46% for 2024, B&P further estimates that this provision could reduce local sales tax collections by $4,011,946 to $9,482,015 annually.

Based on information from the University of Michigan Hospital, the average age until children are toilet trained is 2.5 years. Based on information provided by the United State Census 2023 population estimates (the most recent complete year available), there were approximately 206,138 children living in Missouri ages 0-2 years old, with 67,996 being less than one year old. Therefore, B&P estimates total sales of $137,067,000 [(67,996 infants x $1,000 cost per year) + (138,142 toddlers x $500 cost per year)] up to $184,035,280 [(67,996 infants x $1,000 cost per year) + (138,142 toddlers x $900 cost per year)] may be impacted by this proposal.

B&P notes that according the United State Census 2023 population (the most recent complete year available) estimates there were approximately 1,136,615 individuals residing in Missouri age 65 and over. Based on these numbers, B&P estimates that approximately 284,154 (1,136,615 x 25%) individual age 65 and over would utilize adult urinary incontinence diapers. B&P further estimates that approximately 90,929 (1,136,615 x 8%) individuals residing in Missouri age 65 and over would utilize adult bowel incontinence diapers. Based on information from a budgeting website, the average cost for urinary incontinence diapers is $100 to $240 per month, for a yearly cost of $1,200 to $2,880. Further information from the budgeting website lists the average monthly bowel incontinence diapers is $70 to $210 per month, for a yearly cost of $840 to $2,520. B&P estimates that total annual sales for urinary incontinence adult diapers could be approximately $340,984,500 (284,154 people x $1,200 annual cost) up to $818,362,800 (284,154 people x $2,880 annual cost). B&P further estimates that the total annual sales for bowel incontinence adult diapers could be $76,380,528 (90,929 people x $840 annual cost) up to $229,141,584 (90,929 people x $2,520 annual cost).

B&P estimates that this provision could reduce TSR by $17,633,672 to $44,257,060 annually. Using the sales location weighted average sales tax rate of 4.46% for 2024, B&P further estimates that this provision could reduce local sales tax collections by $18,614,480 to $46,718,696 annually.

Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a fiscal impact that could exceed DOR’s estimated impacts in the fiscal note. L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 63 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD Lastly, notes this proposal includes a sales tax exemption for incontinence products “designed specifically for hygiene matters related to urinary incontinence”. Oversight assumes there could be additional exempt items aside from the diapers included in the estimates provided by DOR and B&P. Therefore, Oversight will show an unknown loss of sales tax revenue for the sales tax exemption of “incontinence products” for state and local funds beginning in FY 2026. Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services and the Department of Social Services assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for both respective organizations. Officials from the City of Kansas City assume this proposal would have a negative fiscal impact on the City of Kansas City. Oversight notes the above local political subdivisions stated this proposal would have a negative fiscal impact on their respective city/county of an indeterminate amount. Therefore, Oversight will note the DOR’s estimates for all local political subdivisions on the fiscal note. Oversight notes that the Conservation Sales Tax funds are derived from one-eighth of one percent sales and use tax of the Missouri Constitution, thus MDC’s sales taxes are constitutional mandates. Oversight notes the proposed sales tax exemption would decrease the amount of sales tax revenue distributed to the Conservation Sales Tax Fund. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the B&P’s and DOR’s fiscal impact estimates for MDC’s funds. Officials from the Department of Natural Resources defer to the Department of Revenue for the potential fiscal impact of this proposal. Oversight notes the Park, Soil, and Water Sales Tax funds are derived from the one-tenth of one percent sales and use tax pursuant to Article IV Section 47 (a) thus DNR’s sales taxes are constitutional mandates. Oversight notes the proposed sales tax exemption would decrease the amount of sales tax revenue distributed to the Park, Soil, and Water Sales Tax Fund. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the DOR’s fiscal impact estimates for DNR’s funds. Section 144.812 - Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Certain Broadband Equipment Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) note beginning tax year 2026, this proposal would exempt all machinery and equipment used to provide broadband from state and local sales/use tax. B&P notes that this proposal would include equipment used at the broadband service provider (such as software and hub equipment), equipment used outside (such as fiber and poles), and equipment used within a customer’s house (such as modems). B&P is unable to determine exactly how much is spent each year to provide broadband internet service. However, B&P does have data on the amount of federal grants received by broadband providers since 2019. Based on industry research, labor accounts for approximately 60% of broadband production costs. L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 64 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD For the purpose of this fiscal note, B&P will use federal grant data to estimate the potential sales tax loss. However, B&P notes that this is only partial data and does not account for continuing costs faced by service providers running networks. Therefore, it is likely that the actual impact will exceed (maybe significantly) the impacts estimated below. Based on multiple sources, B&P was able to determine the following federal grants were awarded to Missouri broadband providers. B&P then split the grants between labor (60%) and equipment (40%).

Therefore, for tax year 2026, B&P will reflect the potential loss as the range between current known grants and the highest amount awarded (TY 2024). For tax years 2027 and later, B&P will reflect a range between the lowest (TY 2019) and highest (TY 2024) grant years. Using only the portion of the federal grants used on the purchase of equipment (i.e. 40%), B&P estimates that this proposal could exempt between $158,226,265 and $183,116,123 in taxable sales during calendar year 2026. For calendar years 2027 and beyond, B&P estimates that this proposal could exempt $12,120,568 to $183,116,123 from taxable sales annually. Table 2 shows the estimated impact by calendar year. L.R.

Therefore, B&P estimates that this proposal could reduce TSR by and amount that could exceed $2,785,442 to $3,223,607 in FY26. In future years, this proposal could reduce TSR by an amount that may exceed $512,095 to $7,736,656 annually. Table 3 shows the estimated impact by fiscal year.

DOR is unable to determine how much of the product outlined in this proposal is sold annually in Missouri. DOR, however, can find data on the amount of federal grants received by broadband providers. Below is a chart of the federal grants received in Missouri and split between labor costs and estimated equipment costs. Based on additional research DOR knows that about 60% of broadband production costs is labor. Therefore, the department assumes the grants are split as follows: L.R.

It should be noted that these networks will take ongoing maintenance in future years. Therefore, any impact projected estimate could be exceeded. DOR notes that the amount of funding spent on broadband in the future is unknown. As shown above the amount of funding can vary widely year over year. For the fiscal note, DOR will show the impact for each year as the lowest year (2019) to the highest year (2024) of grants received in Missouri. The exemption will begin on January 1, 2026. Using the data above DOR estimates the impact as follows: Estimated Sales Tax Loss by Tax Year TY 2026 + LowHigh Est.

Oversight notes the DOR requests one-time cost for website income-tax changes and updates to comply with the proposed language; however, Oversight notes that DOR receives appropriation for routine website updates and will not show those costs in the fiscal note. Oversight notes using the data provided by Office of Administration - Budget and Planning, the average amount of federal grants used on the purchase of equipment from 2023-2025 was $165,919,538. For purposes of this fiscal note, Oversight assumes this proposal could exempt at least $165,919,538 in taxable sales each year.

Officials from the Department of Natural Resources defer to the Department of Revenue for the potential fiscal impact of this proposal. L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 68 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD Oversight notes the Park, Soil, and Water Sales Tax funds are derived from the one-tenth of one percent sales and use tax pursuant to Article IV Section 47 (a) thus DNR’s sales taxes are constitutional mandates. Oversight assumes the proposed sales tax exemption may decrease the amount of sales tax revenue distributed to this fund. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the fiscal impact estimated above for DNR’s funds. Officials from the Missouri Department of Conservation assume an unknown fiscal impact. The Conservation Sales Tax funds are derived from one-eighth of one percent sales and use tax pursuant to Article IV Section 43 (a) of the Missouri Constitution. The Department defers to the Department of Revenue as it is responsible for tax collection and would be better able to estimate the anticipated fiscal impact that would result from this proposal. Oversight notes that the Conservation Sales Tax funds are derived from one-eighth of one percent sales and use tax of the Missouri Constitution, thus MDCs sales taxes are constitutional mandates. Oversight assumes the proposed sales tax exemption may decrease the amount of sales tax revenue distributed to this fund. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the fiscal impact estimated above for MDC’s funds. Officials from the City of Kansas City assume the proposed legislation has a negative fiscal impact of an indeterminate amount. Oversight notes the above local political subdivision stated this proposal would have a negative fiscal impact on their respective city of an indeterminate amount. Oversight assumes the proposed sales tax exemption may decrease the amount of sales tax revenue distributed to various local political subdivisions. Therefore, Oversight will note the fiscal impact estimated above for all local political subdivisions on the fiscal note. Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; however, other local political subdivisions were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request. Section 321.552 & 321.554 & 321.556 Sales Tax for Fire & Ambulance Districts In response to a similar proposal from this year, (HCS for HB 1268) officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this proposal would allow any governing body of an ambulance or fire protection district to impose a sales tax in an amount up to one-half of one percent on all retail sales made in such district. In order to have the sales tax, the district would be required to hold an election and notify the Department of the increase. The first available election would be April 2026, so the tax would not be collected until October 2026 (FY 2027) and remitted starting November 2026. DOR notes that DOR is able to retain 1% of all sales tax collected as reimbursement of DOR’s collection costs. The amount retained is deposited into general revenue. L.R. No. 1683S.04F Bill No. SS No.2 for HCS for HB Nos. 594 & 508 Page 69 of 78 April 6, 2025 KLP:LR:OD DOR notes that some districts already have a sales tax that varies from 0.375% to 0.5%. DOR is unable to predict how many ambulance and fire districts that don’t have this sales tax will adopt one. This will not have a fiscal impact on the DOR to administer unless a political subdivision adopts the sales tax rate. At that time, it would cost $7,327 to update DOR’s computer system per political subdivision rate change. This proposal also requires that if a district passes a sales tax, they must adjust their levy to account for this additional funding. Additionally, this proposal establishes procedures that allow citizens to repeal this sales tax in the future. These provisions will not impact DOR. Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) assume this provision would increase the allowable sales tax rate from 0.5% to 1.0%. To the extent that this provision results in additional sales tax collections, this provision may impact TSR through the 2% DOR cost of collection Fee. Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the estimates as provided by DOR for the potential increase in revenue from the 1% administration fee and the cost for computer updates to DOR’s system for each political subdivision. Oversight notes in order for the updates to DOR’s computer system to reach the $250,000 threshold, 34 ($250,000/$7,327) political subdivisions would need to adopt a new sales tax rate. Those cost would also be offset by the 1% administration fee. Oversight does not have enough information at this time to determine the amount of revenue that would be generated from these political subdivisions if a new sales tax on emergency services is adopted. Therefore, until more information is available, Oversight will assume the unknown impact to GR will not meet the $250,000 threshold. Oversight notes the provisions of this proposal would only impact the local political subdivisions’ (LPS) emergency services within Clay County and St. Louis County since the original exception language was repealed in this version of the bill. Oversight is unclear how many additional governing bodies of these counties would impose a sales tax. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a $0 (no sales tax adopted) or unknown revenue to these LPS for this proposal. Officials from the Kansas City Election Board state that depending on when the election is held, costs could range up to $800,000. The state would pay their pro-rata share based on registered voters. Oversight assumes the timing for an election to adopt a sales tax for emergency services would take place during a regular election cycle (April or November) to streamline any election costs that would be impacted. Therefore, Oversight will assume no direct fiscal impact from this proposal. L.R.
