FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this legislation would have no administrative impact on their agency.



Officials of the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the City of St. Louis (STL) assume this legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.



Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume this bill would not impact the department's Parks and Soils Sales Tax because it is a local, rather than a state, tax exemption. This proposal would have no fiscal impact on DNR.



The County of St. Louis did not respond to our fiscal note request.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



This proposal would reduce sales tax collected on food by exempting it from metropolitan park and recreation sales tax. This would not appear to have a substantial impact on small businesses.





DESCRIPTION



This act will exempt food from the sales tax imposed by Section 67.1712, RSMo. The

exemption uses the same definition for food as does the section which reduces the state sales tax on food (Section 144.014, RSMo).



The exemption will go into effect on January 1, 2002, and will make the parks and trails tax different from all other local taxes.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
