SB 118-FN-A - FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT increasing the annual limit on the new investment tax credit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

    The Department of Revenue Administration states this bill, as introduced, will decrease state revenue by $2,250,000 in FY 2014 and each year thereafter. This bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local expenditures, or county and local revenue.

METHODOLOGY:

    The Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) states this bill would increase the amount of contributions that the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) may receive, and for which a 75% tax credit against business taxes is granted from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000. An $8,000,000 maximum contribution level could produce $6,000,000 in tax credits granted each year at the 75% allowance amount. Assuming the CDFA will get the $8,000,000 in contributions, and assuming that businesses will utilize all of the $6,000,000 tax credits they have available, there would be a decrease in state general and education trust fund revenue of approximately $2,250,000 annually.
