Rule Changes

Advocated for ending the medical records sales tax

Comptroller Don Huffines' plan to end sales tax on electronic health records was published in the Texas Register on Oct. 30. That opened a 30-day public comment period, which closes Nov. 29. The proposed rule says electronic health record systems, electronic medical record systems, patient portals and other systems used to share medical records are not taxable information services or data processing.
