Revenue distribution plan for state tax fund allocations
The text outlines how revenue distributable under section 61 is allocated to counties based on relative assessed valuations. It details annual certification on August 1, 1995 and thereafter, with county treasurers crediting the second tax installment and distributing funds to taxing districts accordingly.
Tax Credit Provisions and Local Impacts Explained
The act details crediting a taxpayer’s tax bill in proportion to assessed valuation of real and tangible personal property in the county. Funds are distributed to taxing districts by the county treasurer and credits below fifty cents go to the county poor fund. An appropriation of seventy five thousand dollars is set for 1934 plus three percent of taxes collected, with excess returned to the special tax fund. Also noted are incidental local incidents including a Seattle man in a garage accident and a Turkish fire brigade chief losing both hands in an explosion.
