  • article Brewer opposed to major corporate tax cuts

    Wednesday, April 21, 2010 12:24 pm

    Gov. Jan Brewer wants no income tax cuts for corporations.

    Brewer, crafting her own version of an economic stimulus plan, also rejected provisions in a House-passed proposal that would allow some multi-state corporations to escape paying any income taxes at all in Arizona. She also is opposed to repealing the state property tax.

    And the governor does not want to alter how businesses are assessed for tax purposes for voter-approved bonds and school overrides.

    The bottom line is that Brewer’s counter proposal to the House plan, when fully implemented, would reduce total business taxes in the state by less than $50 million a year. That compares with a price tag of $950 million in the original House version of HB 2250 and close to $650 million in a modified plan proffered by House Speaker Kirk Adams, R-Mesa, as a compromise.

    Adams said Tuesday he is disappointed with Brewer’s plan.

    “My initial concern with it is that it does not do much to actually create jobs or retain jobs in the state,” he said. And Adams said while he appreciates Brewer’s plan to scrap the state Department of Commerce in favor of a quasi-public economic development agency, that does not eliminate the need for large tax cuts to stimulate the economy.

    The governor’s objections, however, should come as no surprise: Brewer has said all along she did not want to enact major tax cuts while the state is digging its way out of a deficit.

    And the legislation comes as Brewer is attempting to convince voters to approve a temporary one-cent hike in the state sales tax that would generate $3 billion over its three-year life. Foes of that May 18 vote already have said consumers should not provide more cash to the state only to have the dollars go out the back door in tax breaks for business.

    Adams said it’s not that simple, pointing out the state has lost more than 300,000 jobs since the economy peaked in late 2007. He said the tax breaks are needed to get those jobs back — and get people working so they can pay taxes.

    Brewer, however, won’t buy the package.

    The biggest difference is the governor’s refusal to consider cutting corporate income tax rates by 28 percent over five years. That move, when fully implemented, would reduce state revenues by more than $200 million a year.

    Adams said Arizona has one of the highest corporate income tax rates in the nation. He said that is a deterrent to getting firms to locate here.

    The separate change in the House bill in figuring income taxes would allow multi-state corporate to compute what they owe Arizona based on the percentage of sales made in this state. That would allow corporations that sell missiles and military hardware and, to a lesser extent, computer chips, reduce their taxes to next to nothing.

    Gubernatorial press aide Paul Senseman said Brewer does not believes broad across-the-board tax cuts are appropriate, at least not at this point. He said the governor also believes the state can generate new business with “targeted and responsible” changes in tax policy that do not undermine the state’s fiscal bottom line.

    Those changes Brewer supports would provide tax breaks when companies build or expand here, hiring new workers. Senseman said this would have minimal impact on existing tax collections.
