IC 6-9-35-14: Food and beverage tax fund; uses

Sec. 14. Money in the food and beverage tax fund shall be used by the county or municipality:

(1) to reduce the county's or municipality's property tax levy for a particular year at the discretion of the county or municipality, but this use does not reduce the maximum permissible levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 for the county or municipality; or

(2) for any legal or corporate purpose of the county or municipality, including the pledge of money to bonds, leases, or other obligations under IC 5-1-14-4.

Revenue derived from the imposition of a tax under this chapter may be treated by a county or municipality as additional revenue for the purpose of fixing its budget for the budget year during which the revenues are to be distributed to the county or municipality.
