Fiscal Analysis

The bill would amend Chapter 151 of the Tax Code, regarding the sales tax, to create a sales tax exemption for computers that are designated as an Energy Star qualified product with a sales price of less than $1,000 sold during the current sales tax holiday for energy-efficient products each May.  The bill would take effect September 1, 2009.

The bill would take effect September 1, 2009.

Methodology

Data on the U.S. sale of qualified computers were gathered from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. National sales were adjusted to reflect sales in Texas; adjusted for the appropriate price range and duration of the holiday period; multiplied by the state sales tax rate; and extrapolated through fiscal 2014.

Local Government Impact

There would be a proportional loss of revenue to units of local government.
