Board approves $67,233.90 refund after taxpayer filing error
Summary
Page County staff told the board a business accidentally reported $1,100,000 instead of $100,000 in gross receipts; the board voted to approve a $67,233.90 refund after staff and counsel verified the corrected amount.
The Page County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a refund of $67,233.90 after staff reported a taxpayer had mistakenly entered incorrect gross receipts when filing online.
“...I make a motion that we accept this request for a refund in the amount of $67,233.90,” an unidentified supervisor said during the meeting. Finance staff (Miss Smith) explained the error as an online data‑entry mistake and confirmed the payment had been processed to the treasurer; legal counsel reviewed the documentation before the board voted.
Board members asked staff to confirm the revised amount matched historical receipts for the same period; Miss Smith affirmed staff had reviewed prior submissions and the figure was correct. The motion carried on the board’s vote.
The refund request was processed through the treasurer’s office and will return funds to the taxpayer; staff did not provide the taxpayer’s name in the public record.
The board moved on to the next agenda item after approving the refund.
