Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Tax Code to require a distributor of off-highway vehicles, as defined by the bill, to file a report with the Comptroller listing each warranty issued by the distributor for a new off-highway vehicle sold to a resident of Texas. A distributor who fails to file the required report would be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $25 and not more than $2,000 for each day a violation occurs.The bill would take effect September 1, 2021.
Methodology
The Comptroller indicates that additional information required to be reported may help with identification by the comptroller of purchases on which use tax may be due and result in a marginal increase in tax collections, with the increase beginning in the year after the reports are first due.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
