Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to make a technical correction in the definition of “eligible taxpayer” in §11-24-11b, relating to the corporation net income tax.
As written, this bill makes a change in the West Virginia Code reference in the definition of “eligible taxpayer.” While the original language provided a general definition of “eligible taxpayer” as a person subject to the Business and Occupation Tax, additional identification of the intended “eligible taxpayer” group inadvertently pointed to back to the Corporation Net Income Tax. The bill changes the additional identification to reference the appropriate Business and Occupation Tax Section.
Since the bill, as written, merely makes a technical correction, it is our interpretation that the passage of the bill will have little or no impact on revenue.
There will be no additional administrative costs to the State Tax Department associated with this bill.
