Sales tax increase
for Texas business
takes effect Oct. 1
AUSTIN (AP) — The state sales
tax will go up three-quarters of a
cent Oct. 1, when garbage collection,
private club memberships and many
other items and services will be sub
ject to the levy for the first time.
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.
Rep. Dan Morales, D-San Antonio
and a committee member, said the
special panel would not make any
tax decisions until it hears from Tex-
