Compliance with this tax is time consuming and costly for businesses. The Department of Revenue estimates that elimination will result in approximately $412 million in tax relief. Repeal has been a major goal for tax reform advocates for many years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong> <span>Although repealing the personal property tax has had bipartisan support \u2013 it has not made it to the finish line yet. Look for the debate to continue as budget deliberations get under way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/reforminggovernment.org\/explain-it-to-me-senate-universities-and-revenue-committee-passes-personal-property-tax-elimination-bill\/ From IRG Policy Analyst Patrick Hughes What happened?
