Coal severance tax industry factor. |
12LSO-0122.C1 |
FISCAL NOTE
Source of revenue decrease:
Reduced assessed value of coal production
Assumptions:
The above estimates are based on coal production volume and price projections from the January 2012 CREG estimates.
It is assumed that coal direct cost ratios will continue on historic trends.
Reduced assessed value of coal production will reduce both severance taxes collected by the Department of Revenue and ad valorem taxes collected by counties, including the 12 mills distributed to the School Foundation Program.
The coal industry factors proposed in this bill would be effective for coal produced on or after January 1, 2012.
Reduction of the assessed value of 2012 coal production will result in reduced ad valorem taxes collected beginning in FY 2014.
Reduction of the assessed value of 2012 coal production will also decrease severance taxes for the last 6 months of FY 2012. The severance tax decreases in FY 2012 are estimated below:
