The Retail Developers Bill
Tax rebate for retail developers gets revised in Idaho
Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding a sales and use tax rebate for certain developers of certain retail complexes.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would give a sales tax rebate to certain retail complex developers, lowering the taxes they pay and shifting that cost to Idaho taxpayers.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill helps developers keep more money, but ordinary Idaho residents will see less tax revenue for schools and services, so they may pay more later.
