Revenue committee
waits on tax hike
SALEM
The House Revenue Commit
tee approved a minor part of
Gov Vic Atiyeh's new budget
balancing plan Thursday but
deterred until today further work
on a proposed income tax hike
and cut in property tax relief
The panel endorsed and sent
to the full House a measure that
would require payment of dis
puted tax bills before cases
could be appealed to the state
Tax Court
Under current law, taxpayers
who challenge the amount of
tax the state says they owe can
avoid paying anything until their
case is settled in the courts
Under the bill proposed by
Atiyeh, a disputed bill would
have to be paid before the case
could go to the Tax Court If the
taxpayer won the case, the state
would have to refund the taxes
plus interest
The bill (HB3314) would yield
an estimated $8 million in added
revenue in the current two-year
budget Revenue Department
officials said the state has won
86 percent of the cases
appealed during the past six
years
The major part of Atiyeh's
latest plan for erasing a project
ed $337 million budget deficit
would increase income taxes
for most Oregonians and end
property tax relief to the wealth
iest homeowners and renters
