MESSAGE: Vote No on AB46. Please do not impose another sales tax on retailers which consumers will pay. Also, don’t impose a new property tax in Washoe County. Why are you exempting the property tax from the existing limit? We can’t afford more taxes! (You may want to write your own message.)

AB46: Adds a new sales tax of ¼ of 1 percent of the gross receipts of retailers to deposit in the school districts fund for capital projects (buildings). I believe they are imposing this on retailers because without a vote of the people they can’t change the regular sales tax, but you will pay it just the same. It also imposes a new property tax at the rate of 5 cents on each $100 of assessed valuation. This new property tax is exempt from the existing limit of $3.64 per $100. Why have a limit if you are going to pass new taxes and exempt them from the limit?

From the Legislative Counsel Bureau’s Digest
The board of trustees of each school district is required to establish a fund for

2 capital projects. (NRS 387.328) Sections 2 and 10 of this bill require the board of

3 county commissioners of each county whose population is 100,000 or more but less

4 than 700,000 (currently only Washoe County) to impose additional taxes for

5 deposit in the county school district’s fund for capital projects. In particular,

6 section 2 requires the imposition in the county of a new sales and use tax at the rate

7 of one-quarter of 1 percent of the gross receipts of retailers and section 10 requires

8 the imposition in the county of a new property tax at the rate of 5 cents on each

9 $100 of assessed valuation.

10 Sections 2-8 of this bill require the administration of the new sales and use tax

11 in the same manner as the sales and use tax imposed by the Local School Support

12 Tax Law, as set forth in chapter 374 of NRS.

13 Existing law generally limits the total amount of property taxes which may be

14 imposed to $3.64 on each $100 of assessed valuation. (NRS 361.453) Sections

15 and 10 of this bill exempt the new property tax required by section 10 from this

16 limitation. Although existing law provides a partial abatement of the property taxes

17 levied on property for which an assessed valuation has previously been established,

18 a remainder parcel of real property, certain single-family residences and certain

19 residential rental dwellings, this partial abatement does not apply to any new

20 property taxes which the Legislature first requires a taxing entity to impose after

21 April 6, 2005. (NRS 361.4722, 361.4723, 361.4724, 361.4726) The new property

22 tax required by section 10 is therefore not subject to this partial abatement.

23 Section 11 of this bill authorizes the school district in each county where these

24 new taxes are imposed to pledge the proceeds of these taxes, and the portion of the

25 governmental services tax whose allocation to the school district is based on the

26 amount of the property tax levy attributable to its debt service, to the payment of

27 any bonds or other obligations the school district issues for capital projects.
