Taos approves quarter-cent GRT hike to boost local services
Taos Town Council voted to raise gross receipts taxes by a quarter of a cent starting January 1, bringing the GRT to 8.4375 percent. The measure targets nonfood items and funds public safety, infrastructure, and economic development, with about 1.8 percent for the town, 1.5 percent for the county, and over 5 percent for the state. City officials cite falling federal and state funds and project expansions like a library, Eco-Park, and police relocation as beneficiaries, while some residents call the move regressive and unfair.
