Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to raise to $25,000 the tax liability threshold at which taxpayers must file and pay electronically. Raising the threshold will not affect revenue. We would anticipate that most businesses who are already filing electronically will elect to continue such practice. Additional administrative costs to the Tax Department will be $60,000 a year.
