Take a fantasy trip to Bali Ha'I by attending the first performance Friday night, AprU 29th. During the coming weeks, cities and counties throughout the state will have to decide whether to increase their local option sales tax and agree to a new method of allocating such funds or to continue with the present 34 percent local tax. According to an analysis prepared by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, this decision will have an important bearing on the future finances of these local units. The 1983 Utah Legislature enacted legislation which allows cities and counties to raise their local sales tax by 18 percent from 34 percent to 78 percent for the next four years and then to a total of 1 percent beginning July 1, 1987. If a city or county increases its tax, however, it must accept a new method of allocating local sales taxes including a possible sharing of such revenues with other local units. At the present time, cities and counties can levy a local' sales tax up to 34 percent and retain all of the revenue (minus a small administrative charge) which is collected within their boundaries. Under the new law, any unit which raises its taxes must agree to a gradual phasing in - of a population factor in the allocation of such funds according to the following schedule: Fiscal Basis Allocation Year Pnt. Sale Pop. 0 100 Present 25 30 35 40 45 50 1983- - 84 1984- - 85 1985- - 86 1986- - 87 1987- - 88 1988 on 75 55 50 Foundation analysts point out that if all local units decide to raise their local sales tax rates by 18 percent and accept the new allocation formula, an additional $13.9 million in local sales taxes would be imposed next year. Because of the change in the method of distributing the revenue, the increase in the local tax would have a varying effect on the different local units of the state. A table included in the Foundation report shows that a 18 percent increase in the local sales tax would produce an estimated $16,493 in Beaver City during 1984. The analysis also shows that Beaver City would receive an additional $18,060 in local sales tax revenue if it raised the tax and agreed to the new method of allocation.
