Texas Sales Tax Hike Seen Unlikely This Year
Austin reports that a state sales tax increase to 3 percent is unlikely this year as revenue projections shift. Comptroller Calvert raised 1969 revenue estimates, reducing expected tax bill to about 115 million dollars, diminishing the push for a state tax hike. Governor Connally’s team favors smaller tax increases across various levies instead of a broad sales tax rise. Barnes opposes a sales tax increase this year, arguing financing can occur without raising the tax.
