Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Chapter 152 of the Tax Code, regarding taxes on motor vehicles, to provide for allocations of revenue from those taxes to the State Highway Fund (SHF). Beginning in fiscal 2018, the bill would direct the Comptroller to deposit the total revenue from the motor vehicle sales and use tax and the motor vehicle sales and use tax from seller-financed sales in excess of $2,500,000,000, after making the required allocation to the Property Tax Relief Fund (PTRF), to the credit of the SHF. Under current law net revenue collections from these taxes are deposited the General Revenue (GR) Fund.
Methodology
Future annual net revenue collections from the taxes imposed by Chapter 152 of the Tax Code that would be deposited to GR were based on the amounts forecasted in the 2016-17 Biennial Revenue Estimate, projected forward, and reduced by the amounts to be transferred to the PTRF. The allocations to the SHF beginning in fiscal year 2018 (and the resulting losses to GR) were then calculated by subtracting $2,500,000,000 from the net amounts forecasted to be deposited to GR.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
