On December 12 a task force of city and business representatives met to review the two-factor apportionment formula for service-income for local B&O taxes.
The task force members have been evaluating elements of market-based tax apportionment models used in other state tax systems. Once this education portion of the process concludes, the task force will begin evaluating these alternatives with the goal of simplifying the administration of the portion of the allocation formula related to service income based on contacts with customers. EHB 2005 requires the task force to submit a report to the Legislature by November 1, 2018.
