SENATE BILL NO. 1284
BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND TAXATION COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO THE SALES TAX; PROVIDING LEGISLATIVE INTENT; AMENDING SECTION
3 63-3623, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE THAT SALES AND USE TAX RETURNS CONTAIN
4 INFORMATION ABOUT THE COUNTY WITHIN WHICH THE SALES OCCURRED AND THE DOL-
5 LAR AMOUNT OF THE SALES PER COUNTY AND TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS; AND
6 AMENDING CHAPTER 36, TITLE 63, IDAHO CODE, BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SEC-
7 TION 63-3623C, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE THAT THE STATE TAX COMMISSION SHALL

15 available and current sales tax statistics do not provide information to
16 potential new businesses considering relocating to Idaho. Because of the lack
17 of county by county statistics, an accurate portrayal of business activity is
18 not presented and rural economic development efforts can be thwarted.

19 (j) The state tax commission for good cause may extend, for not to exceed
20 one (1) month, the time for making any return or paying any amount required to
21 be paid under this act chapter.
22 (k) Any person to whom an extension is granted and who pays the tax
23 within the period for which the extension is granted shall pay, in addition to
24 the tax, interest at the rate provided in section 63-3045, Idaho Code, from
