JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Interim Committee on Oversight of Local Taxation will hold its third hearing in Jefferson City. State Rep. J. Eggleston, who chairs the committee, said the public hearing will take place Monday, Sept. 9 from 12:30 p.m. to no later than 5 p.m. in House Hearing Room 7 in the Missouri State Capitol Building.
The committee has already held hearings in Kansas City and St. Louis to take testimony from citizens, businesses, and government officials on the impact of property taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, earnings taxes, and any other taxes under the heading of local taxation. Eggleston said the goal of the committee is to learn more about how current taxation methods affect Missourians, and explore possible improvements to those methods to better serve taxpayers and the state.
Eggleston said the primary topic for the September 9th hearing will be the pros and cons of local project taxing districts (TDDs, CIDs, NIDs, TIFs, etc.), followed by any extra testimony on property taxes and internet transaction taxes, and ending with committee discussion.
