The Act would require a study of whether a single law for making adjustments for inflation in the tax laws of this state would be feasible and useful. The Act would require a report of the study to be turned in next year.
Requires the Legislative Revenue Officer to study the feasibility and utility of enacting a single statute that uniformly governs adjustments for inflation in the tax statutes of this state. Directs the officer to submit a report to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to revenue no later than September 15, 2026.
Wasting time on a study that amounts to taxation without representation, or the required percentage of votes in the legislature to increase taxes, is a scam on Oregon taxpayers. And what about reducing taxes when not in inflation?
