NOVEMBER 8TH - Legislative Tax Information

Click to review 2011 Tax Increases Proposed in the House, also the DOR’s list of options for raising revenues that have been commonly requested, and those items in (1) and (2) that may apply to real estate.

In a Conference Call with the Governor’s director of policy today, Kari Burrell shared the following:

Special session will not include policy issues which she’ll work on in the regular session to enhance jobs and the economy which are foremost in importance.

Special session revenue/NTIB legislation will require a lot of hearings. Revenue package will probably include buy backs, that is, where the new revenue will be spent as legislators prefer to know what they’ll be voting on, that is, where the money is going. Governor is aware that many spending cuts in services result in loss of jobs too. 

Nov 17 the next revenue forecast and case load projections will come be released.
