Texas House Veers Toward Gas Pipeline Tax Again
In Austin the House Revenue and Taxation committee approved Rep. George T. Hinsons bill to tax natural gas pipelines at a token rate of 1 130th of a cent per 1000 cubic feet. The plan, tied to an administration tax package, hinges on constitutionality tests after a Supreme Court ruling last month. An automatic rise to 7 20th of a cent per 1000 cubic feet could follow if upheld, with gas production tax adjustments and projected revenue shifts.
