End of all sales tax exemptions eyed by Idaho lawmakers
Idaho legislators consider scrapping all production exemptions and taxing services to raise funds for education and possible local school property tax relief. Estimates suggest up to 17 million dollars yearly could be generated, with service tax extension including utilities, telephone, laundry, and personal services. Rep. Ray Lincoln argues the plan may align with tax law goals from 1965. Rep. Jenkin Palmer notes a ballpark budget estimate will be shared with caucuses, while the general fund is set for a 10 percent salary-driven increase to 136.5 million dollars.
