FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION


Officials of the Department of Revenue - Sales Tax Division assume no fiscal impact to the department.


Officials of the City of Harrisonville assume the only fiscal impact would be the costs related to an election to determine if the citizens wanted a sales tax for public safety.


Oversight assumes this proposal as written is discretionary and would have no fiscal impact unless the governing body of the city would seek voter approval to impose a sales tax for public safety purposes. Oversight assumes if the voters were to approve a sales tax there would be revenue generated and there would be costs related to providing public safety services. Oversight assumes that the local annual fund balance would be either a positive unknown or a zero balance.


Oversight assumes if the citizens would approve a sales tax for public safety, the Department of Revenue would retain a 1% collection fee which would be deposited into the State’s General Revenue Fund.


Oversight has no way to determine if the city were to receive voter approval to impose a public safety sales tax; therefore, for the purposes of this fiscal note fiscal impact will be shown as zero.
