Fiscal Analysis

The bill would amend Chapter 151 of the Tax Code relating to the exemption of certain items sold by school booster clubs and support organizations from the state sales and use tax.  The bill would add booster clubs and other school support organizations to the list of groups exempt from the taxes imposed by this chapter for the sale of food products, meals, soft drinks, and candy for human consumption.   The bill would also exempt school spirit merchandise, as defined by the bill, sold by a booster club or other school support organization in a school during the school day, or during an event sponsored or sanctioned by the appropriate school or school district, from the taxes imposed by this chapter.  The bill would stipulate that the proceeds from the sales benefit the school or school district and were sold under an agreement made with the proper school authorities.   The bill would take effect September 1, 2013.

Methodology

The total number of public and private school students was estimated from Texas Education Agency (TEA) data and other sources.  The amount of money each student across grade levels 6 through 12 and their families would spend on items sold by groups made eligible for exemption by the bill, and the market share of those groups, were estimated then multiplied by the number of students in these grades.  These grades were assumed to constitute the large majority of sales that would be affected by the provisions of the bill.  The sales tax rate was then applied to the resulting amount and extrapolated through 2018.

Local Government Impact

There would be a corresponding loss of sales and use tax revenue to local taxing jurisdictions.
