Fiscal Analysis
The bill would repeal Subchapter F of Chapter 111 of the Tax Code, regarding tax refunds for certain ad valorem taxpayers in reinvestment zones. Subchapter F, proposed for repeal, currently provides a refund of sales and use and franchise tax payments made by certain persons who paid ad valorem taxes to a school district on property in a reinvestment zone that is subject to an abatement agreement with a city or county and is not subject to an abatement agreement or an agreement to limit the appraised value of property with the school district. To be eligible for the refund, the person and person's business must meet certain conditions. The total amount that can be refunded to all eligible persons is capped at $10 million in any year. The bill would take effect January 1, 2010.

Methodology
The estimated fiscal impact from the proposed repeal is based on refunds that have been made under the provisions of Subchapter F. There is no estimated fiscal impact for 2010 since refunds paid in fiscal 2010 would be authorized before the effective date of the bill.
