More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the calculation of the no-new-revenue tax rate’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill modifies the procedures for calculating the no-new-revenue tax rate and the voter-approval tax rate for taxing units in Texas, effective Sept. 1, 2025. It amends the formulas for these rates, factoring in additional sales and use taxes by defining terms such as "sales tax gain rate" and "sales tax revenue rate." The bill specifies formulas for the first year a new sales tax is enacted, years of continued taxation, and years when such a tax is discontinued. It distinguishes calculations between special taxing units and others, adjusting rates based on previous year levies, current total values, and increment rates. This bill ensures that tax rates are adjusted to either include or exclude additional sales taxes, maintaining revenue integrity while reflecting changes in tax policies.
