ACCG's Response to HTRG Credit Reduction in FY 2010
ACCG knows that you face a difficult task in addressing our state's $2.2 billion budget shortfall by making reductions to the current year and fiscal year 2010 budgets. I also know that many of you are very concerned about the Governor's recommendation to eliminate $429 million of the Homestead Tax Relief Grant (HTRG) credit because you know that homeowners will have to repay the amount of the credit that they received on their 2008 property tax bills.

Register to Participate in Program to Match Sales Tax Collection Data
In partnership with the Department of Revenue, ACCG has initiated a new statewide program that will allow counties with business occupation tax permits to match their data against the state’s sales tax registration information. This program will help counties ensure that all businesses legally required to collect sales tax in their county are doing so and remitting the tax to the right jurisdiction.
