Aidaho Legislative Notebook: Basic Income, Reducing Property Tax offered by Idaho’s speaker Mike Moyle – the speaker’s review

In an effort to help Idahoans follow the basic bills, resolutions and memorials through the legislative process, at the end of a week, Idaho the capital will produce a “legislative notebook” to collect information in one place that refers to the main events in the legislature and Other news related to the State Government.

Here is our rapid leakage of major events in the fourth week of the Aidaho legislation session in 2025.

Aidaho Lecturer insists on income, property tax reformIn the state address of Idaho State Lawyer Brad Little, delivered to state MPs on January 6, he called on the continuation of the $ 100 million tax breaks for Aydahoans through his plan to “observe promises”.

But Idaho’s chairman House Mike Moil, R-Star, is adamant during the weeks, as the legislature can and should do more to much more.

In the last few days, he has introduced a combination of accounts that will collectively reduce taxes by over $ 400 million this year.

His bill seeks to reduce Aidaho’s individual and corporate tax rates from 5.695% to 5.3%, progressing on the floor of the House of Idaho’s representatives after voting in the Revenue and Tax Committee in the House on Thursday.

House Bill 74, another bill introduced by Moyle this week, is intended to reduce ownership taxes by providing a one -time transfer of $ 50 million to the State Fund for Religions on State Tax and another $ 50 million each year, To help pay the local school and the construction and construction and construction of the local school and the construction of the local school and construction projects for renovation, which would otherwise be funded with ownership taxes.

“You will hear people say that we cannot afford tax relief, that instead we have to invest the money in this or that program,” Moil wrote in the social media platform X on Thursday. “I disagree. There is no better place for taxpayers dollars than in the hands of taxpayers. “

It is correct that other legislators have already questioned how sustainable these tax reductions will be if the country’s economy is experiencing a decline.

“We have no revenue number and budget to determine if we can actually afford this bill,” Berh said. “The future of over $ 6 billion we receive from the federal government before the Ministry of Government Government, and other executive orders – we do not know how this will affect Idaho’s condition. This can have a huge impact. “

The Democrats also took the bill in a message on Thursday, as they say that it would favore Idahoans, who are already rich while “leaving working families behind them.”

“The Idahoans need fair tax policies that build a thriving middle-class, not another scheme of the downward, which is beneficial to those who need the least,” said the chairman of the Democratic Party in Aidaho Lauren Nay in the message.

According to Bill 40 40, a family of Idaho, which won between $ 55,000 and $ 91,000, would expect to see a tax relief of about $ 127, according to Idaho’s Neparty Center for Fiscal Policy. Meanwhile, the maximum 1% of Idaho winners, who earn $ 738,300 and more, will get a tax reduction of about $ 5,358, according to the center.

But Moil, who is serving his 14th term in the legislature, says he has no intention of slowing down.

“Those of you who know me know that the only reason I ran for the legislature is to reduce taxes,” Moil said on Thursday. “This is probably the biggest relief of the income tax we have ever provided or offered to Idaho’s citizens.”
