Universal Citation: TN Code § 67-4-1202 (2020)
  1. A two-dollar privilege tax, for state purposes only, is imposed for each entry by each customer admitted to an adult performance business. This tax is in addition to all other taxes imposed on the business.
  2. Each adult performance business shall record daily in the manner required by the department the number of customers admitted to the business. The business shall maintain the records for the period required by the department and make the records available for inspection and audit on request by the department.
  3. This section does not require an adult performance business to impose a tax on a customer of the business. A business has discretion to determine the manner in which the business derives the money required to pay the tax imposed under this section.
  4. All revenue collected from the tax imposed by this section shall be allocated to the general fund. It is the intent of the general assembly that an amount equal to the revenue collected from the tax be allocated to programs for victims of sex trafficking, subject to inclusion in the general appropriations act.
  5. This section is repealed on July 1, 2021, and no privilege tax shall be levied under this section on or after that date. This subsection (e) does not absolve any taxpayer of liability for any tax levied under this section prior to July 1, 2021.
