H 751 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

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

This bill revises Idaho's sales tax rebate program for developers of retail complexes. It allows developers to receive a 60% rebate on sales taxes collected by qualified retailers within their complex, provided the developer spent at least $4 million on approved transportation improvements (like highway projects costing over $5 million). The rebate is paid from a new "demonstration pilot project fund" and capped at $35 million per transportation project. This directly affects developers building retail complexes who make qualifying transportation investments, not the retailers or general consumers.
