Section 151.313(a)(6) would be amended to expand the exemption of therapeutic appliances, devices, and related supplies to apply to animals as well as humans; and Section 151.313(a)(15) would be amended to expand the exemption of certain intravenous systems, supplies, and related replacement parts used for diagnosis or treatment to apply with respect to animals as well as humans. The bill would take effect September 1, 2015. Methodology National expenditure data on pet care from the American Pet Products Association was apportioned to the state based on population, reduced to a portion to represent expenditures on therapeutic appliances, devices and supplies, then multiplied by the sales tax rate to estimate the applicable sales tax. The sales tax on certain veterinary supplies and equipment was estimated using Comptroller and census data. Local Government Impact There would be a corresponding loss of local sales and use tax revenue from local taxing jurisdictions. The losses are displayed in the above table.
