Section 151.324(a) would be amended to provide exemption for machinery used to position, place, and hold certain exempt property used for offshore minerals exploration or production during assembly, fabrication, restoration, or repair of that property and for services necessary to install, assemble, disassemble, or reassemble scaffolding used in the assembly, fabrication, restoration, or repair of such machinery and exempt property used for offshore minerals exploration or production. A new Section 151.3241 would be added to govern taxation of divergent use of property exempt under Section 151.324(a)(3). The bill would take effect September 1, 2013. Methodology The bill would expand the current exemption provided by Sec. 151.324 for equipment used elsewhere for mineral exploration or production to apply to certain machinery and services used in relation to such equipment when that equipment is in this state. The fiscal implications of expanding the exemption to such related machinery and services were estimated proportionally to the estimate of the value of the current exemption as published in the Tax Exemptions and Tax Incidence Report of March, 2013. Local Government Impact There would be a proportional loss of sales and use tax revenue to local taxing jurisdictions.
