2010 House Bill 6422

Authorize tax amnesty window

Introduced in the House

Sept. 8, 2010

Introduced by Rep. Fred Durhal (D-6)

To open a delinquent tax payment amnesty period from May 15 to June 30, 2011, during which all criminal and civil penalties would be waived for having failed in the past to file or pay income or other state tax, or for making an excessive claim for a refund. To get the waiver a taxpayer would have to make full payment of the tax plus interest, either in a lump sum or through an installment plan. This is one of the one-time revenue sources proposed to close the gap between expected revenue and desired spending (the “deficit”) in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 2010.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
