Draft city B&O tax model ordinance sent out for review

The work group of city tax managers and finance directors working on implementing required changes to the city B&O tax model ordinance has sent drafts to cities and the business community for review. AWC would also encourage B&O tax cities to reach out to your local chamber and business community for feedback on the drafts.

Once the work group has finalized the updated city B&O tax model ordinance and proposed guidance on interpreting the changes, all cities with a local B&O tax will need to adopt the mandatory changes by January 1, 2020. A workgroup of cities is in the process of draft implementation guidance rules and plans to hold meetings with the business community this fall.

If your city has a B&O tax and is interested in participating on the AWC model ordinance work group’s conference calls, please contact Sheila Gall.
