« Money for Volkswagen In Bredesen's Tax Plan? | Main | The Ad » April 25, 2008Revenue Department Plans to Be More Secretive With Tax Law Changes Next Year
Each year the Department of Revenue sends the legislature a "technical corrections" bill, intended partly to tighten loopholes in tax laws and keep the state a step ahead - or at least not too far behind - the latest tax-dodging strategies. The department also tries to clear up ambiguities in the law, in the state's favor, of course. Typically, the bill generates $20 million or so in new revenue.A simple open-records request for copies of the draft should suffice next year to short-circuit the Revenue Department's plan to craft new tax policy under the watchful eye of only a few hand-picked tax attorneys. Tax policy proposals should be crafted in out in the open, where the public - who, after all, pay the taxes - can see what is happening. Posted in Tennessee Government News
