This morning the House Tax Policy Committee heard testimony on Senate Bills 489<\/a> and 490<\/a>, bills that are the first \u201cfix\u201d bills from the personal property tax (PPT) reform package that passed in December. The bills clarify the process for a businesses to claim exemptions under the legislation.<\/p>\n

The League has been an active part of a drafting group of local government and business representatives who have been working on bills that would clarify the process for claiming PPT exemptions under the new legislation.<\/p>\n

Beginning December 31, 2013, businesses will be eligible to claim a \u201csmall parcel\u201d PPT exemption if the total value of their personal property in a tax collecting unit is $80,000 (true cash value) or less.\u00a0 The remainder of the package does not go into effect until December 31, 2015; however, the package is contingent on the passage of a statewide vote in August 2014.<\/p>\n

The League was neutral on the bills as they do reflect the work of the drafting group. You can view a copy of the League\u2019s letter to the House Tax Policy Committee here:\u00a0house tax policy 9_13<\/a> We also included a copy of the letter the League sent to Lt. Governor Brian Calley after the package passed in December:\u00a0calley ltr final<\/a><\/p>\n

We are expecting additional legislation this fall to fix other outstanding issues including the essential services assessment and how we deal with tax capture districts. The committee is expected to vote on the legislation next week.<\/p>\n
