To determine the tax base of a certified self-insurer for purposes of this chapter, the department shall multiply the amount of the certified self-insurer’s liabilities for workers’ compensation claims incurred in the previous year, including claims incurred but not reported, plus the amount of expense incurred by the certified self-insurer in the previous year for administration of self-insurance, including legal costs, by 1.02.

(c)

The tax liability of a certified self-insurer under this section is the tax base computed under Subsection (b) multiplied by the rate assessed workers’ compensation insurance companies under Sections 403.002 (Maintenance Taxes) and 403.003 (Rate of Assessment).

(d)

In setting the rate of maintenance tax assessment for insurance companies, the commissioner of insurance may not consider revenue or expenditures related to the operation of the self-insurer program under this chapter.
