Storm-related Tax Exemptions

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs has set up a one-stop Web page for tax information related to Hurricane Ike. The state provides tax exemptions for certain expenses, including hotel costs, cleanup and recovery services and fundraisers for storm victims. Other tax-exempt services include labor costs to repair commercial and residential properties; services to restore storm-damaged items, including dry goods and furniture; and charges for cutting and hauling storm-damaged trees and debris.  Governor Perry has issued a disaster declaration for Montgomery County.  For detailed information about exemptions, visit the website at:  http://www.window.state.tx.us/   or call (800) 252-5555.
