Estimates of Impact of Local Option Meals Tax
January 2009
Explanation of methodology and data limitations
DISCLAEUER: General limitation of DOR returns data for meals taxes
DOR data contains addresses for meals tax returns, or taxpayer registrations, as part of
their return, However, businesses that operate in more than one location in Massachusetts
generally file a single meals tax return covering all of the locations in the state. In the data kept
by DOR, these meals would all be attributed to the address listed on the return, or registration.
Take for example a theoretical business that has two locations, one in Sheffield and one in
Cambridge. If this business files a single return from Sheffield listing meals tax from both
locations, then the data from the meals tax returns would be placed under the"Sheffield"
category, even though some of the meals tax was not generated by sales in that locality.
Similarly, meals tax from restaurants that are part of a chain may be filed together under
the address of the corporate headquarters. If this address is out-of-state, then the meals tax from
this chain might not appear in any of the local tallies, and would need to be distributed among
the cities and towns. Furthermore, a business can have its return filed by a third party, such as an
accountant, with the address of this party on its return. In this case, our data may show the meals
tax in the city or town in which the accountant's office is located. For these reasons, DOR
returns data does not well represent the amounts of economic activity taking place in any
particular city or town.
Two Methods: Using DOR Returns Data and U.S. Census Data
Two methods are presented to estimate the impact of a 1% increase in the meals tax that
raises a total of$125 million in new tax revenues. The first uses DOR meals tax return data to
allocate this increase. The second method uses data gathered by the US Census bureau as part of
its 2002 Economic Census of business activity.
Method 1: DOR Meals Tax Returns
The accompanying spreadsheet lists all 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts in
alphabetical order. The first method uses 2007 meals taxes (by town) obtained from DOR's
meals tax return data for taxable receipts. These data are subject to the data limitations described
in the disclaimer. Also note that towns from which fewer than three taxpayers filed tax returns in
Page I of 10
any given year are excluded from these data to ensure the confidentiality of taxpayer-specific
information.
This method uses the percentage of meals taxes reported by each town in the 2007 meals
tax return data to allocate the revenue that would be generated by a I% increase in the meals tax.
For the meals tax revenue reported from out-of-state taxpayers, revenue was distributed to
Massachusetts cities and towns proportionately, based on the percentage of in-state meals tax
revenue attributable to each city and town.
Method 2: U.S. Census Data
Using food service industry data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2002 Economic Census
of Business Activity(the most recent available), the Department of Revenue estimated the
proportion of total restaurant activity(and thus meals tax revenue) for each of the
Commonwealth's 351 cities and towns. The 2002 census provided the following information:
total food service(mostly restaurant)sales and the number of food service establishments for the
state as a whole; foo(I service sales for the larger individual towns; and the number of food
service establishments for many of the smaller towns in Massachusetts. These data were used to
allocate meals taxes to individual towns. However, for some towns (mainly the smallest ones),
there were neither sales nor establishment data available from the Census Bureau. Where no
sales or establishment data were available, the remaining meals tax was allocated based on
population.
The percentages of total restaurant activity for each city and town were then used to
allocate the approximately$125 million in new meals tax revenue.
Note on Estimates
The actual impact of the proposal to increase the meals tax rate in any given city or town
depends on several factors, including how many establishments actually exi�t, their future sales,
and how customers would react to an increase in the meals tax. Customers' reaction§may be
especially important if contiguous towns(whether inside or outside Massachusetts) opt for
different local option taxes or none at all. While the Department of Revenue believes that in
general the Census-based estimates to be preferable to the meals tax retum-based estimates, in
some cases the estimates based on meals tax returns may be more accurate, especially where
Census data on sales and the number of food service establishments were unavailable.
It should also be noted that the method based on the 2002 U.S. Census data implicitly
assumes that the distribution of restaurant sales among cities and towns has not changed since
2002. DOR believes that while this is a reasonable assumption, there are probably some cases in
which this assumption does not hold, and that the estimates should therefore be used with
caution.
