FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Economic Development (DED) and the State Tax Commission (TAX) stated the proposal would not affect their agencies, administratively.
The proposal would allow more municipalities to include blind pension fund and merchant's and manufacturer's inventory replacement taxes in tax increment financing. DED officials can not readily say which cities or projects would be affected by this proposal.
Oversight notes that the proposal could reduce income to the state's Blind Pension Fund and to affected political subdivisions which benefit from the Merchant's and Manufacturer's Replacement Tax.
Officials of the St. Louis County Municipal League stated that the Tax Increment Financing Commission parts of the proposal would have no direct fiscal effect on cities in the County.
