Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Chapter 171 of the Tax Code, regarding the franchise tax, by adding to the activities included under "production" for the cost of goods sold subtraction in determining franchise tax liability. The added activity is the manufacture of a good while in transit and affects ready-mix concrete trucks. The bill would amend the list of costs included in cost of goods sold to include production costs allocable to the manufacture of a good while in transit. The bill would amend Subsection 622.011(a) of the Transportation Code regarding the definition of "ready-mix concrete truck" to substitute "while manufacturing" for "and manufacture," and to add "a volumetric ready-mix concrete truck" to the definition. The bill's franchise tax provisions would only apply to a report originally due on or after January 1, 2016. The bill would take effect September 1, 2015.
Methodology
The estimated fiscal impact is based on information from the Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association and on the Comptroller's franchise tax data bases.
