What changed in the latest version
12 added · 34 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of SB 1091 has removed references to cryptocurrency payment options for income tax and changed the focus primarily to the transaction privilege tax. Additionally, it now allows taxpayers to make tax payments directly at the point of sale and for any additional amounts owed after an audit. This change simplifies the tax payment process and makes it more convenient for taxpayers, as they have more options for remitting what they owe.
