Now is the time for Hoosier Tax Relief

By Governor Eric Holcomb

 

Indiana is fiscally strong and continues to grow at a rapid rate. As our
revenues exceed forecasts month after month, it has become clear that the time
is now to act on a tax plan that gives back to our growing business community
and to hardworking Hoosiers.

 

When SB 1 hits my desk to sign into law in a couple of days, it will ensure
the maximum number of Hoosier taxpayers will receive their portion of the $545
million automatic taxpayer refund this year.

 

That’s just the latest in a long list of tax cuts. Since 2005, Indiana has
demonstrated strong stewardship of taxpayer dollars while constantly finding
ways to responsibly return those dollars to the people and businesses that have
helped our state grow —proving that cutting taxes can increase revenue. During
that period, we have cut taxes at least 10 times and paid down billions of
dollars in debt. Most recently, Indiana’s corporate income tax rate fell to
4.9% last July.

 

My administration has been carefully monitoring our finances. In each of the
last six months, Indiana has exceeded forecasted revenues. And this Friday,
March 4, we expect to see this trend again when February revenues are posted.

 

That’s why we can provide immediate assurances to individual taxpayers and
businesses that their hard earned money will be returned to them now in a
fiscally prudent and impactful fashion. We can achieve that by:

* Returning $545 million to 4.3 million Hoosier taxpayers this year through
the Automatic Taxpayer Refund (SB 1)
* Cutting Indiana’s individual income tax rate to 2.9% over time, making
Indiana tied as the lowest rate among states with an income tax
* Reducing the Indiana State Teachers’ Pre-96 Retirement Fund by paying off
another $2.6 billion at the end of this fiscal year
* Eliminating both the Utility Receipts Tax (URT) AND the 30% tax floor on
Business Personal Property for all new equipment.
I am confident this plan can be responsibly achieved while balancing our
ongoing priorities and maintaining prudent levels of fiscal reserves.

 

The sooner we execute on this plan the sooner we can:

* Make Indiana tied among states with the lowest individual income tax rate
of the states that impose the tax
* Assist businesses in two of their biggest area of concerns — energy costs
and the cost of new capital investment over time
* Significantly improve the state’s pension fund ranking 
* Maintain Indiana’s low debt burden status 
The Indy 500, held every year on Memorial Day, always reminds me about
teamwork, speed and competition. With those three factors in mind, I suggest
Team Indiana move ahead to reinvest in ourselves and our state’s future growth.

 

John, this is exciting news, and it would not be possible without the hard
work of Hoosiers across Indiana.

 

Thank you as always for your continued support in Building One Indiana for ALL.

 

—Team Holcomb
