I find this very interesting. Which taxes are you talking about,like the e-tax, the property tax?ComandanteCero wrote: It should be clear, there is a difference between tax abatement and TIF. I think people are confusing the two. In a tax abatement, you are just not collecting tax. In TIF, you are using the supposed tax money to pay for some part of the improvement. And the use of tax abatements aren't necessarily based on whether an area is blighted or not. Anyway, two different tools, used differently and in different cirucmstances.
Tax abatement is just for the property taxes. All other taxes generated by the project are collected and retained by the taxing authorities.Paintfumes wrote: I find this very interesting. Which taxes are you talking about,like the e-tax, the property tax?
Does the Bond money come from the citizens tax money we pay in like property tax, gas tax, food tax, anything that we are tax for?
