Property Relief Seen Change Studied For Tax Sharing
Wisconsin revenue distribution subcommittee studies a tax sharing plan to equalize local property tax rates. The plan would pool state taxes into a common fund and distribute half by tax base and population and half by an equalizing formula. It aims to lower disparities, raise total distributions from about 115 million to 190 million, and may broaden the income tax base or add a sales tax. The plan would also end personal property taxes on inventories and shift public assistance costs to the state. A November 30 meeting in Madison seeks to complete recommendations for the Blue Ribbon Tax Study Commission.
