Fiscal Note Summary


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


The stated purpose of this bill is to amend and reenact §11-10-18 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to the Tax Procedure and Administration Act, adding the word “not” to impose a penalty of five percent of the amount of the tax, if the failure to file a tax return is for not more than one month. This restores original language inadvertently omitted in a prior enactment. As indicated in the stated purpose and according to our interpretation, this bill merely restores language that was inadvertently omitted. Since the proposed change is merely a technical correction, there would be no change in revenue attributable to passage of this bill. There would be no additional administrative costs to the State Tax Department associated with passage of this bill.
