                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this proposal would limit
how additions to tax may be assessed.  It is estimated that this legislation
would require modifications to the income tax systems.  The modifications
would be completed by existing staff/resources.  The Division of Taxation
would need to review all accounts that would be subject to the additions to
tax. It is anticipated that this review can be handled by existing staff and
resources, however, if timely processing is affected by this review,
additional FTE may be requested through the normal budget process.

this proposal.


DESCRIPTION

This proposal requires the Director of Revenue to state the reason for a
finding of taxpayer negligence at the time an income tax assessment is
proposed.  Rules and regulations of the Department of Revenue which are
inconsistent with the laws of the state may not be cited as the basis for the
penalty assessment.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
