A sale for resale is exempt from tax. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, assuming that it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature.  Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2015. Methodology National data on annual revenue of the catering industry from the U.S. Census Bureau was apportioned to the state based on the number of catering establishments, reduced to reflect off-premise catering activity and revenues estimated to be dedicated for the lease or rental of tangible personal property used in the sale of taxable prepared foods and drinking products. The result was multiplied by the sales tax rate to yield an estimate of applicable sales tax. Fiscal implications for units of local government were estimated proportionally. Local Government Impact There would be a proportional loss of sales and use tax revenue from local taxing jurisdictions as shown in the above tables.
