Texas Vending Tax Ruling Narrowed on 25 Cent Sales
The Texas ruling remits to the Counter only taxes on sales of 25 cents or more, not total sales. A Lubbock firm, V and M Vending, was among the plaintiffs in a suit against State Comptroller Calvert. The sales tax, enacted last summer, aimed to reduce a near 100 million deficit and lifted the state toward a temporary black in May. The decision prompts further test cases and possible changes to the law amid broad public interest.
