ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this proposal eliminates the limit on the corporate federal income tax deduction on January 1, 2001. This proposal will have little or no administrative impact to the Department of Revenue.
In a similar proposal officials of the Office of Administration (COA) stated this proposal restores the full federal income tax deduction for corporate income taxpayers.
COA staff state that their estimate for restoring the full federal income tax deduction is from the FY 2002 Consensus Revenue Forecast and Budget and Planning's Corporate Income Tax Simulator. The corporate income tax loss due to this proposal would be ($24.5 million) in FY 2002 and ($24.8 million) in FY 2003. COA staff stated that the revenue reductions from this proposal would require an equivalent amount of General Revenue in order to fully fund the Foundation Formula. A one percent annual growth rate was assumed.
Oversight will reflect the impact of this proposal as a loss to local school districts.
This proposal would result in a decrease in Total State Revenues.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Small business would be expected to be fiscally impacted to the extent that they pay income taxes. The increase in the federal income tax deduction would cause small businesses to pay less income tax.
DESCRIPTION
Current law limits the deduction for federal income taxes paid by corporations to 50% of the taxes paid. This act removes that limitation and allows full deductibility of federal income taxes for corporations beginning January 1, 2001.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
