The bill would take effect September 1, 2017. Methodology Based on Texas motor vehicle transaction records, there are approximately $1.14 million in annual taxable purchases of vehicles that would be exempted by this bill. The average annual tax revenue for those sales would be $71,000. The allocation of certain revenues to Fund 6 required by Proposition 7 are shown beginning in fiscal year 2020. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Counties could lose a minimal amount of revenue due to the motor vehicle sales and use tax exemption.
