Benton County auditor alerts council to pending Local Income Tax changes, says she has queried DLGF
Summary
Auditor Beth Budreau told the Benton County Council she has contacted the Department of Local Government Finance about legislative changes to Local Income Tax and said she will update the council; there was discussion about establishing a board related to the changes.
Auditor Beth Budreau informed the Benton County Council on Feb. 26 that recent changes in legislation concerning Local Income Tax (LIT) may affect county procedures. Budreau said she has emailed the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) with questions and will update the council as she receives answers.
Budreau described the outreach as preliminary and said she wanted the council to be aware of what is coming. The minutes record further discussion about working to establish a board in response to the LIT changes, but they do not provide details about the board—s scope, membership or statutory authority.
The transcript does not specify the text of the legislative changes or the expected timetable; Budreau said only that she had sent questions to the DLGF and would report back. Council members did not vote on any LIT-related measure at the Feb. 26 meeting.
Next steps: Auditor Budreau will update the council when DLGF responds to her inquiries; council action may follow depending on the guidance received.
