AI Summary
This bill reduces the administrative fee that the Tennessee Department of Revenue can retain when collecting certain taxes from 1.125% to 0.75%. Specifically, the bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee tax law to lower the percentage of tax proceeds the department can keep to cover its administrative and collection expenses. The affected taxes include business tax, short-term rental unit occupancy tax, local tax surcharges, coal severance tax, and local option sales tax. By reducing this administrative fee, more of the collected tax revenue will be remitted directly to the county, city, or town that originally levied the tax. The bill also removes a specific subsection related to tax collection in one section of the code. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to tax collections received on or after that date, giving government agencies and taxpayers time to prepare for the new administrative fee rate.
