Raggio is sponsoring Senate Bill 399, which would set aside $300,000 to hire an independent firm to look at whether state and local tax growth is keeping pace with population growth.
“We have some shortcomings,” said Raggio of state taxes. “But this doesn’t mean it (a study) is being done to raise taxes.”
The committee took no action on the bill.
During a presentation on the proposed study, Raggio noted that Nevada’s average tax burden on residents has consistently been ranked among the five lowest in the nation by the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax research organization based in Washington, D.C.
