The sales tax increase to 6 cents on the dollar and the expansion of the tax base was a major part of the $5.7 billion tax increase enacted by the 1987 Legislature. The increase makes up for the continuing economic effects of the oil and natural gas price slump and allows state services to continue at about the current level in the two- year budget cycle that began Sept. 1. The cigarette tax also will go from 20.5 cents to 26 cents a pack on Oct. 1. The expanded tax base is ex pected to add more than 64,000 Texas businesses to the state tax rolls, according to the comptroller’s office. More than 420,000 mer chants and businesses already collect sales taxes. Among the broad categories of services that will be subject to the sales tax beginning Oct. 1 are real property services such as landscap ing and garbage collection, and secu rity services, including private inves tigators. Items that will be subject to the sales tax include custom computer programs, labor on installations to tangible property, telephone serv ices and membership and dues to private clubs. Comptroller Bob Bullock said Thursday, “Businesses need to re program cash registers and alert workers and staff of the new rate taking effect Oct. 1.” Alma Faulkner of the Texas Asso ciation of Business, which fought a proposed large increase in and pre payment of the corporate franchise tax, said, “I don’t know that the sales tax is going to hurt us.” The franchise tax is scheduled to go from $5.25 to $6.70 per $1,000 of taxable capital and surplus on Jan. 1. A proposed higher increase and tax prepayment failed in the Legis lature. The sales tax also will be extended to data processing services, payroll and business accounting, time-shar ing and computer management on Jan. 1. Taxes also will be due starting Jan. 1 on repair and renodeling services, except on new cohtruction and owner-occupied reside^es. The state’s motor vehicle sties and hotel-motel room taxes wre in creased Sept. 1, when a fee aso was instituted for businesses to o\tain a sales tax permit. Tax expert say; deductions won't change AUSTIN (AP) — A major factor that makes a state income tax more attractive for some Texans wif not be changed in the coming years, a federal tax expert Thursday told the Select Committee on Tax Equity. “I see little likelihood that the de duction for sales tax is going to be restored,” Jack E. “Buck” ChapotDn, a former U.S. Treasury Departm^it official and current managing part ner for the Washington office of tie law firm of Vinson & Elkins, said. The 1986 federal tax law change bars Americans from using stafe sales taxes as a deduction on federj income tax calculations. State in come taxes, however, remain de^ ductible. State Senate Finance Committee Chairman Grant Jones said that gives a boost to a Texas state income tax, something that has been consid ered political poison. “I don’t know that it becomes in evitable, but it certainly becomes less unattractive,” Jones said of a state in come tax, adding, however, it is not likely to happen in 1989. Chapoton said the sales tax de duction will not be restored al though “there are many good argu ments” for putting it back in place. “Particularly, the inequity among the states by having . . . one type of tax deductible and other types of state taxes non-deductible,” he said.

Dan Morales, D-San Antonio and a committee member, said the special panel would not make any tax decisions until it hears from Tex- BOO DRAFT POST-GAME €V€RV TUeSDflV IN SEPTEfUBEfl SCOTT M GILL Crepe Myrtle Cafe Authentic Country Cooking ALL U CAN EAT S3 99 COUNTRY BUFFET 10% discount for SR.
