Explanation:
(This amendment reverses the $22,734 cost
recovery transfer from Commodity Boards to the
Department of Taxation for costs incurred for the
administration of taxes. The Commodity Boards
impacted are: the Apple, Egg Promotion, Soybean,
Corn, Small Grain, Assessment of Sheep Sold, and the
Cotton Tax Assessment.
The Commodity Boards
self-assess themselves in order to provide market
development, promotional, educational, and research
programs for their particular industry. Any
administrative cost takes funds directly away from
the growers and producers.) |
