Since its conception the SSTP has reversed cities prior <br /> <br />understanding of the way in which sales taxes were sourced. Because of objections for cities, <br /> <br /> <br />sales tax sourcing was not addressed in the 2003 bill that the 78th Texas Legislature passed to <br /> <br />enact most of the Streamlined Agreement. <br /> <br />What the Resolution is Intended to Accomplish: <br /> <br />H.B. 2425 charged the state comptroller <br /> <br />with conducting a study of the impacts of the sourcing change on local governments. The results <br /> <br />of that study would require legislative action to address the sourcing issues in the Streamlined <br /> <br />~greement. This Resolution intends to oppose changes to sales tax law that promotes point of <br />destination sales tax sourcing. <br /> <br />How the Resolution is City-RelatedlHow it Addresses a Municipal Issue: <br /> <br />A point of <br /> <br />destination sourcing system would have negative impacts to sales tax revenues generated within a <br /> <br />many Texas cities. North Richland Hills estimates that we could lose $2.3 million as a result of <br /> <br />the sourcing change. , <br />Statewide Importance: <br /> <br />A point of destination sales tax sourcing system would mean that <br /> <br />cities in the State would be collecting less sales tax revenue than they currently collect under the <br />point of origin system. <br /> <br />Submitted By: <br /> <br />Name: Paulette Hartnuul, <br />Title: ,~s~t: ~ the City Manager <br />City: 'North~chiandHiI1s :. <br />.' -'..::'..
