HB 367 (Local Option Sales and Use Tax Modifications)
Libertas Institute opposes this bill. This bill would allow cities to impose an additional .10% tax on residents in counties where the local option sales and use tax was not increased in the previous election.
Libertas Institute opposes this bill. If local municipalities truly were in such need of funding for transportation, then they should find ways to adjust their budgets to find the funding they need. Lavish recreation centers, golf courses, and fitness equipment are just some of items that cities sometimes prioritize above needed transportation projects. At a time when Utah taxpayers are already dealing with numerous new taxes and facing still more, another sales tax increase is unnecessary and irresponsible. |
