(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal’s tax restructuring plan would shift $500 million in tax costs from individuals to businesses, the governor’s leader on the effort said Tuesday.
Tim Barfield, executive counsel for the Department of Revenue, said that though business tax costs would grow, the governor’s plan would benefit companies by giving them increased stability and simplicity.
He also renewed his claims that nearly all households would see a tax break from the governor’s plan, providing lawmakers with reworked data after complaints from a group of ministers that the previous analysis didn’t take into account.
