The appropriation for the State Tax Commission includes funding for increases in employee health insurance costs and non-General Fund replacement items. Nonstandard Adjustments include reductions in Attorney General and risk management fees, and increases in State Controller fees, State Treasurer fees, and office space costs.

There are three enhancements funded, all from non-General Fund sources. The first provides funding to upgrade the Tax Commission’s GenTax software to the current version, based on changes in the underlying Microsoft architecture. It also upgrades the Field Services component , which will allow staff to work more efficiently, resulting in a $769,500 increase in General Fund revenues in FY 2006, and $2,052,000 in FY 2007.

The second enhancement provides $60,000 in dedicated funds to contract with an outside company to handle the securities records held by the Unclaimed Property program, while the third provides dedicated funds to cover the Tax Commission’s cost of administering local option sales taxes in Kootenai and Nez Perce counties.

Supplemental funding for FY 2005 reflects funds provided to cover a 2% Commissioner salary increase authorized late in the 2004 legislative session, and a more accurate allocation of costs among funds.
