Gov. Pat McCrory: Reform Of North Carolina's Tax Code Is Near PDF Print E-mail

RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - As details emerged Thursday on the state Senate's tax reform plan, Gov. Pat McCrory responded and said an overhaul of the code is near. 

 
“I believe the bipartisan plan set forth by Senators Fletcher Hartsell and Dan Clodfelter as well as Representative David Lewis’ bill are closest to my position," the governor said in a statement.  "After more than five months of serious dialogue with community, business and legislative leaders, we are on the cusp of tax reform."
 
The governor's statement continued:
 
“My administration still needs to validate the numbers of each plan to ensure we have sufficient funds to serve the citizens of North Carolina.  
 
“We all share the goals of reducing personal and corporate income taxes. But I cannot support a plan which turns too many North Carolinians into first-time tax collectors.  For instance, we do not want to require a young adult mowing lawns over the summer to collect taxes for his or her services.  
 
“I am also opposed to taxing food and medicine.
 
“Our ultimate goal is to reduce tax rates for North Carolina families and businesses. The final tax plan must make North Carolina more competitive in order to create jobs and put our people back to work. This in turn will increase state revenue, allowing future tax relief without cutting public services.”

Legislature's Competing Tax Reform Proposals Take Shape PDF Print E-mail

RALEIGH, (AP) — House and Senate Republicans are providing more details about their competing plans to overhaul North Carolina's tax system.

 
Senate GOP leaders rolled out a bill Thursday that largely follows the framework they offered three weeks ago and would greatly expand the number of services subject to the sales tax.
 
The measure also contains lower sales and income tax rates but now attempts to address criticisms that the changes would require more low- and middle-income families to pay higher taxes.
 
Earlier Thursday, the House Finance Committee began debating the chamber's Republican plan, which would also lower rates but only expand the sales tax base slightly.
 
No votes were taken on either plan or on a third proposal in the Senate that more closely aligns with House GOP proposal.
