Budget Highlights

The Department of Taxation and Finance is responsible for the State's taxation administration along with related local taxes. This agency is included in the Transportation, Economic Development and Environmental Conservation Budget appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive recommends $407,492,000 to support the Department's operating budget, a decrease of $26,346,000 or 6.1 percent from State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2003-04 levels. This amount includes $301,683,000 in General Fund support, and will be supplemented by fee income of $43,084,000 and Federal funding of $582,000.

The reduction of $16,644,000 in the General Fund is taken mainly from the Audit and Revenue and Information Management programs. The reduction of $14,762,000 in Internal Service Funds, primarily for Banking Services, is coupled with an increase of $5,060,000 in Special Revenue Fund - Other for the Information Management Program account.

The Budget further recommends a reduction of 122 Full- Time Equivalent Positions (FTE) from 4,888 FTE's in SFY 2003-04 to 4,766 FTE's in SFY 2004-05. These reductions will be achieved through attrition.

Positions would primarily be reduced in Audit (47 FTEs), Revenue and Information Management (39 FTEs) and Tax Compliance (20 FTEs) programs.
