FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this legislation prevents interest on refunds due to tax credit carrybacks. This will have no administrative impact to DOR. However, DOR estimates that this proposal will result in interest savings of up to $5.3 million per year (an estimated $2.2 million for individual income tax and $3.1 million for corporation income tax.)



Department of Economic Development (DED) officials state this bill should have no impact on DED. The bill prevents carried back tax credits from accruing interest except from the date they were authorized and forward.



This legislation could increase Total State Revenues.
