SB 1293 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Taxes, Sales - As enacted, extends indefinitely the authority of the commissioner of revenue to require persons selling food, candy, or nonalcoholic beverages, including bottled soft drinks, to retailers to file an information report of such net sales with the department by deleting the July 1, 2025, termination date. - Amends TCA Section 67-6-410.

SB 1293 removes the July 1, 2025, expiration date from a requirement that retailers selling food, candy, and nonalcoholic beverages (including bottled soft drinks) must report their sales to the Tennessee Department of Revenue. This change extends the reporting obligation indefinitely, meaning retailers will continue to file annual sales information reports without a set end date. The bill does not alter the types of products covered, the reporting process, or the entities required to comply - only the duration of the mandate. It was enacted as Public Chapter 335 on May 8, 2025.
