Bill > HB4418

This bill, titled the "Tax Efficiency Act of 2026," allows municipalities to collect their business and occupation or privilege taxes, which are local taxes on businesses, through the state's existing electronic data processing system network. This system, referred to as the "system," is already used for administering property taxes and will be modified to include municipal business and occupation taxes. The Tax Commissioner will manage this process, with participating municipalities sharing costs, and can offer an optional computerized billing and accounting system to them. Payments made through this system will be deposited into a new "municipal business and occupation or privilege tax fund." The bill also clarifies that payments remitted via the system on or before the due date will be considered timely, even if received by the municipality after the due date.
