FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this legislation clarifies the definition of a "nonresident member of a professional team" to include only those nonresident athletes that are members of an athletic team not located in Missouri. Any tax collected from members of professional athletic teams which are located in Missouri will not be included in the annual estimate or appropriation to the various organizations. There is no administrative impact to the DOR. DOR assumes the Office of Administration, Budget and Planning will estimate the revenue impact.



Officials of the Secretary of State and the Department of Economic Development assume this legislation will not fiscally impact their agencies.



State Treasurer (STO) officials assume this proposal will not fiscally impact their agency. STO defers to the DOR for the revenue impact estimate.



Officials of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume this proposal would clarify income tax treatment of nonresident members of professional athletic teams. It appears that the taxes collected from nonresident team members of a Missouri based team would be at the "resident" rate and would go to General Revenue. By statute 10% of the nonresident entertainment tax is allocated to the Historic Preservation Revolving Fund.



While it is not known how much tax revenue is currently being collected on nonresident athletes on Missouri based teams, the DNR assumes that this legislation could result in the Historic Preservation Revolving Fund receiving less revenue.



Officials of the Office of Administration, Budget and Planning (BAP) assumes this proposed legislation should not result in additional costs or savings to the BAP. BAP defers to the DOR for the tax credit estimate since DOR has actual collection data.



Oversight assumes this proposal would increase General Revenue for any individual income tax collected from nonresident members of professional athletic teams which are located in Missouri and decrease the amount transferred to the various funds. Since DOR did not provide income tax revenue estimates for this proposal, Oversight will show the revenue impact as unknown.

DESCRIPTION



This act clarifies treatment of income to members of professional athletic teams. Pursuant to the act, a team member whose team is based or headquartered within this state is treated as a resident of the state. The tax revenue raised from such member's income taxes goes to the state general revenue fund.



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