SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



The bill would exempt from property tax the personal property used, produced, manufactured, held for sale, leased or maintained for a person's profession, business or occupation. The person must have also claimed a federal income tax depreciation deduction on this property. The provisions would apply beginning tax year 2002.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



An analysis of this bill is not available from the Taxation and Revenue Department.



The fiscal impact of this legislation is expected to be small. If tangible personal property is no longer included in the property tax base, tax rates generally are expected to adjust. Thus, the tax burden shifts to other taxpayers. In a county where rates are already at a maximum and could not adjust, there may be some of revenue loss, which is expected to be small.
