"AB 63, sponsored by the City of Los Angeles, would allow until December 31, 2008 the release of tax information by the Franchise Tax Board to local city tax officials. The information provided by the Board would include the taxpayer’s name, address, social security or taxpayer identification number, and business activity code. Tax information provided by the Board, could be used only by an employee of the taxing authority. The Board would recover the costs for providing this data from cities electing to use such data.

1: How many people in your community are paying lower state and Federal taxes because they have a business in their homes? 2: How many of them avoid paying their share of local business taxes? The answer to this question in one city was over 25% of the households were schedule C filers. 82% of them did not have a Business license. Each one of the newly compliant represented a minimum of $200.00 income to the city treasury. Micro Services can help you turn the answer to those questions into revenue. Contact us for more information . |

Honestly it depends on several factors. The Software has a cost yet this is really only part of what it takes to really make the system work. The crucial factors relate to data and the data available for your jurisdiction. To create a really good base of data use able in Muni Vision takes time and effort. Often much of this data is available from your GIS system if you have one. In Piedmont we had no GIS when Bliss was first installed so Micro Services created a module which manages the City address base. |

Enrique La Roche From Article in Revenews by Glen Everroad "Like most new programs, first-time users of the FTB data will find some challenges. The cities finding the greatest benefit from the FTB data are those that have incorporated automated cross-referencing, selective noticing, business tax amnesty programs and city council support. The behemoth Los Angeles has booked over $45 million, while Newport Beach has posted $1.8 million from the program so far."   |

Twenty years ago the state was short on revenues, passed a tax amnesty program, and mandated cities report the businesses they tax to the Franchise Tax Board. For fifteen years, the FTB used city business tax data to identify thousands of non-filers to the state and cities wondered when they might receive FTB data in exchange for providing theirs. It took fifteen years, but in 2000 an assemblyman from Los Angeles, Gil Cedillo, authored Assembly Bill 63, creating the first opportunity for cities to obtain FTB data for business tax purposes. Like most new programs, first-time users of the FTB data will find some challenges. The cities finding the greatest benefit from the FTB data are those that have incorporated automated cross-referencing, selective noticing, business tax amnesty programs and city council support. The behemoth Los Angeles has booked over $45 million, while Newport Beach has posted $1.8 million from the program so far. As it goes with many new programs enacted by the legislature, AB 63 has a sunset provision that repeals the program in 2008. SB 1374, as introduced by now-Senator Cedillo, would repeal that sunset and also provide cities Employment Development Data. |
