Tax Me More!

Hey, if you want to pay more in taxes, why shouldn't you be able to?

House Bill 47 (Create 'tax-me-more' fund): Introduced by Rep. David Floyd on January 2, 2007, to establish the tax-me-more account within the state general fund to receive voluntary contributions from individuals and entities that believe they are undertaxed. The bill would require the Finance and Administration Cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations to establish a contribution process. The billl would require the Department of Revenue to provide an opportunity for taxpayers to make contributions with their income tax payments. The billl would require that amounts in the fund be appropriated by the General Assembly as part of the biennial budget process.
