SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

This measure would adjust personal income tax brackets and index rates in a way that would provide approximately $40 million in tax relief in tax year 2003, and $50 million in relief in tax year 2004. The indexing feature would provide increasing tax relief in years beyond 2004. Differences in brackets under current and proposed law are shown below. TRD has constructed the following tables.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The FY 2003 impact reflects approximately 97% of the full 2002 tax year effect.  Late filers with extensions of time to file and delinquent filers delay about 3% of the tax year revenue into FY 2004.  The FY 2003 impact comprises about 4% of projected personal income tax collections for the period.  The FY 2004 impact reflects the first year of indexing based on a forecast 2.4 percent inflation rate.  Under the indexing provision, each percentage point increase in the rate of inflation increases the annual revenue impact by about $3.5 million.
