House committee advances bill to make Tax Commission notify taxpayers that credit-card statements can serve as audit evidence
Summary
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee on March 13 advanced House Bill 381 to the full House with a "do pass" recommendation. Sponsor Representative Kevin Andrus said the bill would require the Idaho State Tax Commission to notify taxpayers that credit-card statements may be accepted as evidence of payments and deductions in audits.
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee voted March 13 to send House Bill 381 to the full House with a "do pass" recommendation.
Representative Kevin Andrus, District 35, presented the bill to the committee, saying the measure "deals with audits" and builds on a law passed last year allowing credit-card statements as a form of recognition of payments and deductions. He told members the bill would "ensure that the tax commission notifies the taxpayer that that is allowed and that to make sure everybody's on board," and asked for their support.
The committee received no substantive debate after Representative Andrus' presentation. Representative Shurts made the motion to send the bill to the floor with a due-pass recommendation; the committee approved the motion by voice vote. Representative Andrus will be the floor sponsor.
No fiscal note or implementation details were discussed in committee testimony beyond the sponsor's description of the bill's purpose. The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the motion passed on a voice vote.
House Bill 381 will proceed to the House floor for further consideration and any committee or floor amendments.
