Book Description

Excerpt from Sixth Biennial Report of the Minnesota Tax Commission: To the Governor and Legisature of the State of Minnesota The tax commission wishes to call attention to changes in the tax laws which it deems desirable. Most of them have been recommended from time to time in previous reports. The recommendations are as follows: 1. That the grow earnings tax imposed on telephone companies be increased as recommended in chapter V of this report. 2. That a constitutional amendment be submitted to the people authorizing the legislature to provide for the partial or total exemption of household goods, agricultural products in the possession of the producer, and tools, implements and machinery as outlined and explained in chapter VI of this report. 3. That the recommendation to create the office of county assessor to take the place of the present local assessors in each county, as discussed in chapter VII of this report, be given the most earnest consideration. 4. That the law providing for the taxation of banks be amended as recommended in chapter VIII of this report. 5. That the distinction between platted and unplatted property in the classified assessment law be eliminated, as recommended in chapter IX of this report 6. That a law be enacted requiring the true consideration to be stated in each real estate conveyance, or that all deeds not giving this information be accompanied with an affidavit stating the true consideration, for the use of assessors and other taxing officials, as recommended in chapter X of this report. 7. That all property subject to an ad valorem tax be assessed with reference to its value on April 1 instead of May 1, as recommended in chapter IX of our 1910 report, chapter IX of our 1912 report, page 3 of our 1914 report and page 274 of our 1916 report. 8. In order to save unnecessary public expense, and in the interest of efficient administration, we recommend that section 1973, General Statues 1913, providing for the assessment and taxation of so-called "mineral reservations" be amended as suggested in chapter VII of our 1914 report.
