Utah tax restructuring and equalization task force meetings

Utah Lawmakers created the Tax Restructuring and Equalization Task Force after scrapping HB441, a bill that not only would have extended sales taxes to everything from haircuts to lawn care, but also cut sales and income tax rates.

The goal was to come up with an alternative tax fix that could be approved in a special legislative session in later summer or early fall.

The task force has launched a new website, StrongerFutures.utah.gov. Comment forms can be filled out on the website, which has information about the tax reform process including details about the town hall meetings.
