Stadium gets sales tax funding

Beginning January 1, 2027, Tennessee redirects state and local sales taxes from qualifying stadium activity to the stadium’s governing entity. The stadium must be in a county with 366,200–366,300 residents under the 2020 federal census or a later federal census. It must be designed for NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision football, international and high school soccer, and local and regional events. Covered taxes come from all stadium admissions and event-related sales of food, drinks, merchandise, other authorized goods, parking, and related services. Sales can occur at the stadium or on or next to a related facility, including a pavilion. Local sales taxes reserved for schools stay excluded. The money must fund only stadium capital projects, debt payments for those projects, and operating costs. The entity must repay the state’s costs of redirecting the taxes. Funding ends when the debt is retired or July 1, 2056, whichever comes first. A municipality can negotiate yearly replacement payments for revenue previously assigned to it before January 1, 2027, under Tennessee’s Title 7, Chapter 88. Payments must be substantially equal to what the municipality otherwise would receive, and the agreement must expire on June 30, 2032. To receive stadium funding, the entity must submit a copy of that agreement to the Commissioner of Revenue. The law does not change sales tax rates.
