Arkansas use tax proposal advances from House panel
In Little Rock on February 4, the House Revenue and Taxation Committee unanimously recommended a bill to create a two percent Arkansas use tax on goods bought outside the state that are subject to Arkansas sales tax. The plan envisions $700,000 annual revenue from the use tax, adds $3,000,000 to sales tax collections, and allocates funds to the University of Arkansas for buildings, counties for roads, and a split of revenue exceeding $10,000,000 between county turn back and the municipal aid fund.

An amendment to strike salary items failed, effectively supporting immediate pay increases for highway department personnel. Speaker Currie defended the need, quoting Director Baker on retention and hiring needs.
