Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to exempt from sales tax commissions paid to telecommunications brokers for the provision of telecommunications brokers services. The service of telecommunications brokers appears to be a relatively new service. Therefore, any revenue loss to the General Revenue Fund from the passage of this bill would be minimal. Additional administrative costs to the Tax Department would be $4,000 in FY2006 due to notifying taxpayers of the exemption. Thereafter, there would be no additional administrative costs.
