ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Revenue and State Tax Commission stated that this proposal, or similar proposals, would not have an administrative impact on their agencies.
Officials of the State Tax Commission also noted that there would be relatively few claims for refunds under terms of this proposal; however, one large claim for refund could have a significant impact upon the political subdivisions affected since they probably would already have spent the taxes paid in error.
Oversight assumes that the proposal's change in dates when taxes would be delinquent would not significantly affect local delinquency collections.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal would change the date on which real and personal property taxes would be considered delinquent in those years when 31 December falls on a Sunday.
The proposal would also extend the time in which a taxpayer could apply for refunds or credits of overpaid real property taxes from one to three years. (Taxpayers would continue to have one year to apply for refunds or credits of personal property taxes.) The proposal would allow collectors of revenue to offset future distributions of property tax revenues to political subdivisions in an amount equal to any refund or credit granted.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. The proposal could affect Total State Revenue.
