What changed in the latest version
7 added · 7 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to Bill SB 1438 clarifies that the interest rate for taxes and assessments that were not paid on time will no longer follow the usual rate specified in the law. Instead, the Tax Commissioner will determine a single interest rate for each taxable year based on the average rate for the past five years. This change is significant because it aims to simplify the process and ensure that taxpayers are only charged a fair interest rate based on historical averages.
