AI Summary

  • Creates a new mechanism to transfer excess revenues from remote seller sales tax collections (sellers without physical presence in Arkansas) to four state funds: County Aid Fund, Municipal Aid Fund, General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund, and State Highway and Transportation Department Fund, each receiving 25% of amounts exceeding $15,000,000 annually.

  • Repeals provisions that would have allowed income tax rate reductions when remote seller sales tax collections exceed $70,000,000 in the first twelve months of collection.

  • Eliminates the automatic elimination of food and food ingredients sales tax when remote seller sales tax collections reach 150% of food tax revenues, instead requiring specific conditions related to declines in education and bond funding to trigger the tax elimination.

  • Applies the same conditions and triggers for eliminating the compensating use tax on food and food ingredients as the sales tax on food.

  • Makes all amendments effective on the first day of the calendar quarter following the bill's enactment.
