Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 17885

This bill will conform the Idaho income tax law regarding
long-term capital gains in pass-through entities to the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC).  

The IRC provides that capital assets transferred to a new or
existing pass-through entity retain the tax basis and holding
period of the transferor.  Therefore, when the entity disposes of
the assets, it is entitled to long-term capital gain treatment
based on the transferor's holding period.

The bill strikes provisions in Idaho statute that contradict
this federal law.  The provisions deleted by this bill required
the transferor to be a member of the pass-through entity for at
least 12 months (24 months for certain capital assets) even if
the transferor had owned the assets far longer than the time
required to qualify for long-term capital gain treatment.


                           FISCAL NOTE

FY 2009: Approximately $1 million.
