北达科他州税务局长竞选人就取消所得税与税收方向表态分歧
北达科他州伯利县俾斯麦市消息，北达科他州税务局长竞选人10月26日就取消所得税与该州税收方向表达了不同立场。现任局长布赖恩·克罗舒斯表示，在确保州政府提供服务所需收入工具方面必须谨慎，他主张设法提高主要住所、残疾退伍军人与宅地税收抵免额度，并更加关注租房者退税计划。挑战者则批评州共和党超级多数的执政，并指出2025年州议会提高主要住所房产税抵免后，租房者可能并未感受到减负。
报道提到，2025年立法后，已有五万户家庭的房产税被取消。税务局长负责管理超过1.27亿美元的两年期预算与117名全职雇员，该职位年薪为145314美元。两位竞选人的分歧集中在收入工具是否充足与减税红利如何分配，选民将在11月3日投票中作出选择。
North Dakota Tax Commissioner Candidates Voice Differing Positions on Eliminating the Income Tax and the State's Tax Direction
Bismarck, Burleigh County, North Dakota — Candidates for North Dakota tax commissioner voiced differing positions on October 26 on eliminating the income tax and the direction of the state's taxes. Incumbent commissioner Brian Kroshus said officials must be careful when it comes to keeping the revenue tools needed to fund the services the state provides, and he favors finding ways to raise the credit amounts for the primary residence, disabled veteran and homestead tax credits, and paying more attention to the renter's refund program. The challenger criticized the state Republican supermajority's governance and noted that after the 2025 Legislature raised the primary residence property tax credit, renters may not have felt any relief.
Reports noted that after the 2025 legislation, property taxes have been eliminated for 50,000 households. The tax commissioner oversees a two-year budget of more than $127 million and an office of 117 full-time employees, and the position's annual salary is $145,314. The candidates' disagreement centers on whether revenue tools are sufficient and how the benefits of tax reduction are distributed, and voters will make their choice in the November 3 election.
