SALES AND USE TAX; ELECTION

(a) Except as otherwise provided by this section, Subtitles A and B, Title 2, Tax Code, and Chapter 151, Tax Code, apply to a tax imposed under this section and to the administration and enforcement of that tax in the same manner that those laws apply to a state tax. (b) Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, Chapter 321, Tax Code, applies to the imposition, computation, administration, and governance of a sales and use tax imposed under this section. (c) The board may impose a tax on the receipts from the sale at retail of taxable items within the district, and an excise tax on the use, storage, or other consumption in the district of taxable items purchased, leased, or rented from a retailer in the district if authorized by a majority of the voters of the district voting at an election called for that purpose and held in the manner provided by Subchapter L, Chapter 375, Local Government Code. (d) The tax may be imposed in one-eighth of one percent increments not to exceed the rate authorized by the district voters. (e) A tax under this section is applied to the sales price of a taxable item. (f) The board may not adopt a sales and use tax if as a result of the adoption of the tax the combined rate of all sales and use taxes imposed by the board and other political subdivisions of this state having territory in the district would exceed two percent at any location in the district. (g) If the voters of the district approve the adoption of the tax at an election held on the same election date on which another political subdivision adopts a sales and use tax or approves an increase in the rate of its sales and use tax and as a result the combined rate of all sales and use taxes imposed by the district and other political subdivisions of this state having territory in the district would exceed two percent at any location in the district, the election to adopt a sales and use tax under this chapter has no effect.
