Senate To Answer Tax Question
The Senate will rule on Texas tax plans amid a $150 million question. A five member State Affairs subcommittee will craft a bill diverging from Gov Price Daniel’s recommendations after a three day public hearing. Industry warns Daniel’s program could hurt business. a general sales tax is pitched as a fix. Daniel opposes sales or state income taxes and hints taxing “old horses” like industry. The dispute centers on a severance tax on gas, a two factor formula for corporate franchise taxes, and a 2.3 percent levy on utilities, with selective taxes on liquor and tobacco and auto sales. The House also weighs Daniel’s deficit retirement package, including an abandoned property act to seize unclaimed bank accounts after seven years, projected to raise 20 million. Also on tap is a plan to raise state college fees, with a proposed 8 maximum per term plus a $10 breakage deposit and up to 30 for services.
