Bullock tax plan targets lower sales tax and broader base

The plan lowers the sales tax from 4.125 percent and expands coverage to many goods and services now exempt while preserving exemptions for food, medicines, and doctor costs. It aims to add 234,000 taxpayers, mainly in services, and trims oil and gas production taxes to 4.4 percent. The appropriations panel would divert 1.1 billion in capital gains from state funds to general revenue, with Attorney General Mattox expected to opine legality and the House speaker backing the plan. The funds support higher and public education, though principal cannot be spent and only interest is used.
