Gov. Bowen on the Option Tax

(Editor's Note: Inasmuch as the local option tax came under fire in the recent county- primary election, and its repeal has been voted for in a recent county council meeting. The MailJournal was given this letter from Governor Bowen to countyauditor Jean Northernor to clarify the state’s position on the tax.) Dear Mrs. Northernor: I want to thank you for your recent letter requesting information relative to the distribution of local option income tax revenues to participating governmental units. The distribution of local option tax revenues requires the State Revenue Department to estimate the collections that will be made from within each local participating taxing unit. Based upon estimated collections, each unit's proper share is computed and then distribution advanced Because disbursements must be made prior to the time that all collections are finally totaled, it is impossible to make exact dollar distributions on a current on going basis. Therefore, a cash-flow reserve account is maintained at the state level so that final adjustments can be made each year. The size of this reserve account presently is about $4 million, or approximately 12 per cent of present total collections. The account is dedicated exclusively to this single purpose and all interest accrued is credited to participating local governments — not the state. Were no such balance maintained, local share reductions would have to be

made in the succeeding year’s distribution to compensate for any over disbursement previously made. Such a system would increase the local budgetmaking difficulty due to the addition of this unpredictable adjustment factor. At the outset of Indiana's local option tax we had no existing data base upon which reliable local share distribution estimates could be made. Therefore, initial estimated disbursements were more cautiously advanced than is the present case. As our forecasting experience and confidence grows, I would expect that the size of this reserve account could be reduced. In essence, this rather complex process boils down to this: Every local option income tax dollar collected is properly credited to the appropriate taxing unit from which it was raised, and every dollar plus all interest earned by those temporarily held in reserve, is paid back to the local governmental unit from which it came. Thanks again for your most kind letter. < Kindest personal regards. Otis R. Bowen, M.D. Governor Reports vandalism Chris Koher of Syracuse reported to Syracuse police on Friday of boat cushions and seats being slashed sometime Wednesday night or Thursday. The boat was tied on the north side of the channel near the Huntington street bridge.
