BILL NUMBER:S3617
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to requiring the commissioner of taxation and finance to issue an annual report disclosing the aggregate amount claimed on certain tax credits for the preceding state fiscal year
Purpose
This legislation requires the Commissioner of the Department of Taxation and Finance to annually issue a report disclosing information on claimed tax credits by total number of taxpayers and total amount claimed for each credit in the preceding tax year.
Summary of provisions
This legislation requires the Commissioner of the Department of Taxation and Finance to annually issue a report disclosing information on claimed tax credits by total number of taxpayers and total amount claimed for each credit in the preceding tax year. This report is in addition to any other reporting requirements already required by law.
Justification
For the State, and the legislature, to make budget deci- sions, more information is needed to calculate the full costs of tax credits. This bill will give legislators tax credit details that are currently unavailable. This data will allow fiscal decisions to be made with the appropriate information. It is important and appropriate to have accessibility to this information for fiscal planning purposes.
