HB 506: SALES AND USE TAX – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding a sales and use tax rebate to certain developers of certain retail complexes.

HB 506 amends Idaho sales and use tax law to revise the rebate program for developers of retail complexes. The bill increases the minimum cost threshold for approved transportation improvements (such as highway interchanges) from $6 million to $10 million and raises the maximum rebate cap from $35 million to $100 million. Rebates equal 60% of collected sales taxes from qualified new retailers in the complex and are used to reimburse the developer for infrastructure costs. The measure declares an emergency, applies retroactively to January 1, 2026, and has been referred to the House Revenue and Taxation Committee after printing.
