Topic: GASB Proposes New Tax Abatement Disclosure Rule
In October, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued a Proposed Statement on Tax Abatement Disclosures, calling for greater transparency and reporting by state and local governments related to the tax abatements they provide. The proposed rule calls for disclosure of the criteria used to determine taxpayer eligibility, the dollar amount of taxes abated, commitments taxpayers make in return for the abatement, among others. During this installment of the CDFA // BNY Mellon Development Finance Webcast Series, our expert panel will explain the basics of the proposed rule, how this could affect state and local government reporting, and the process for submitting comments.
