Under current law, these specified products are exempt if purchased during a period around Memorial Day. The bill would exempt these products from the sales tax if sold during a period around July 4th. The bill would take effect July 1, 2009, assuming that it receives the requisite two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect October 1, 2009. Methodology The following analysis was provided by the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Data on the sale of the eligible energy efficient products were gathered from the U.S. Department of Energy. Sales were adjusted to reflect sales made in Texas, adjusted for the appropriate time period, multiplied by the state sales tax rate, adjusted for potential effective dates of July 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009, and extrapolated through fiscal 2014. The fiscal impacts on units of local government were estimated proportionally. The length of the exemption period would vary based upon the day of the week that July 4th occurs each year. Based on the language of the bill, the exemption period would last: 3 days in FY 2009, FY 2010, FY 2011, and FY 2014; 4 days in FY 2013; and 5 days in FY 2012. Local Government Impact There would be no impact on local governments in the first year of implementation. July sales tax collections, remitted to the Comptroller in August, would not be allocated to the local jurisdictions until the following fiscal year.
