A joint meeting of the Associated Taxpayers of Idaho and the Idaho state chamber of commerce is planned for Monday February 23 in the Crystal ballroom Hotel Boise to discuss ad valorem tax assessments and the valuation basis. Harry Elcock says the session aims to clarify confusion about valuation and to foster agreement among assessors the state tax commission and the public. Representatives from wholesale and retail merchants will attend to review a district court ruling in Kootenai County reducing ad valorem taxes on merchandise and aligning them with other property taxes. The session will be a work session focused on constructive, factual discussion rather than protest.
