LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A special sales tax at a Lincoln shopping center will help the city finance a new 1,000-car, $20 million parking garage for customers expected to be drawn to a sporting goods store.

Retail stores at SouthPointe Pavilions will be able to pay the tax in several ways, including raising the price of goods, absorbing the extra 1 percent or collecting it directly from customers by adding to the sales receipt.

The tax will be labeled on receipts as “parking assessment” or “parking fee.”

Nebraska law allows cities to impose the special tax, called an occupation tax, in a limited geographic area. Everything in the shopping center will be taxed except restaurant food and beverages.

Scheels All Sports is scheduled to open a 220,000-square-foot flagship store, with a Ferris wheel, in November 2018.
