FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this legislation will have an impact on the Division of Taxation by creating more districts for DOR to track.



DOR assumes by allowing additional districts, additional programming to the existing MITS system will be required (692 hours for a cost of $23,085) for each district that does not coincide with the boundaries of existing political subdivisions.



DOR assumes for each district created using the same boundaries as existing political subdivisions, there would be no additional programming costs.



It is unknown how many additional districts may be formed as a result of this legislation. It is also unknown if there are additional districts, whether the boundaries would be the same as existing political subdivisions.



DOR assumes for purposes of the response, that there will be at least one new district with non conforming boundaries.



Jasper County officials assume no cost to counties from this legislation.





ASSUMPTION (continued)



Officials from the City of Kansas City and City of Springfield assume this legislation would not generate revenues or savings and would not have any cost or loss to their agencies.



Oversight notes that any sales tax proposed would have to be approved by the voters of the districts outlined within this act. Oversight assumes that if a district which does not comprise a county or municipality imposes a sales tax, then DOR officials could request additional resources from the General Assembly in order to administer the sales tax.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



Small businesses in districts where voters approve an increase in sales/use tax would be expected to collect/pay the higher rate as a result of this proposal. Certain small businesses that operating license fees to local governments might be impacted as well if such rates chance, but the impact is not known.









DESCRIPTION



This proposal provides for various changes to local taxation provisions.



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