Dan John of the Tax Commission is said to be planning to introduce for printing tomorrow a streamline sales tax proposal. Word is it will be similar to last year’s effort but even simplier with wording to the effect that would impose “legislative directive to take steps to become involved in collaborating with the national effort and make proposals for legislative consideration next year.”
This is a proposal that the Chamber has consistently supported in past legislative sessions as an important step to simplify tax code in Idaho and bring equity for our hometown businesses. We encourage our membership to support this measure once it's introduced to committee. Please look for updates shortly.
