BILL NUMBER: S7207 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the payment of interest on overpayments PURPOSE : This legislation would require that individuals who are due to receive a tax refund receive such refund within 30 days of the day taxed are due. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 requires individuals who are due to receive a tax refund receive such refund within 30 days of the day taxed are due. JUSTIFICATION : Many states have taken the move towards withholding refunds which rightfully belong to taxpayers. While the State demands that we pay our taxes on a certain date and can take punitive measures towards individuals who do not pay on time, many states feel that they do not owe this same timeless to those individuals who are due refunds. This legislation gives equal rights to individuals who are due tax refunds by demanding that the State refund such money within 30 days of tax day.
