HB 2415 by Meyer: Imposing a tax on small businesses

House Record Vote: 197

Record Vote: 197

While advocates for HB 2415 argue the legislation makes the tax system more equitable for traditional rental car companies and their peer to peer competitors, the legislation actually imposes further unequal tax treatment on one market sector. Ultimately, the bill imposes a stricter tax regime on new market players at the behest of traditional interests resulting in higher costs and decreased choice for Texas consumers.
