SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



The bill authorizes a one-time tax credit beginning in tax year 2001 for five percent of the state income tax liability for a New Mexico resident. Dependents would not be eligible for the credit. The bill contains a delayed repeal effective January 1, 2005 to allow for extended filers and filed tax returns which may later be amended.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



The bill would result in a non-recurring revenue loss for the general fund from $45,000.0 to $50.000.0 in FY02.



State personal income tax liability for tax year 2001, which impacts FY02 receipts, is projected at $1.014 billion for all taxpayers. Applying five percent to this amount would be $50,700.0. The actual fiscal impact would be somewhat less than this amount, because this legislation would not apply to out-of-state residents who have New Mexico income tax liability. TRD has not submitted a bill analysis for this bill; upon its receipt, this analysis will be updated.
