                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp. 241-245)

The Department of Taxation and Finance is responsible for the State's
taxation administration, along with the administration of related
local taxes.  

This agency is included in the Transportation and Economic Development
appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive recommends General Fund support of $432,408,400 for
State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, an increase of $26,012,400 or 6.4
percent over SFY 2001-02.

The Executive recommends an increase of $8,210,400 in the Banking
Services Program.  This increase is attributable to increased costs
associated with the processing of Personal Income Tax and Corporate
Income Tax returns. 

The Executive recommends a total General Fund increase of $11,000,000
in the Revenue and Information Management Program in an effort to
upgrade two information systems.  The e*MPIRE program, which is an
information processing system, accounts for $8,000,000 and the Audit
Case Management System (ACMS or PASS program) will cost $3,000,000.

The Executive recommends a General Fund increase of $3,000,000 in the
Revenue Support Services Program.  This increase is a result of the
higher rent expenses associated with finding new facilities to replace
the office space lost in the destruction of the World Trade Center.

Article VII Proposals

The Executive has submitted Article VII bills that would transfer
$38,680,000 from the General Fund into the Banking Services Account
Internal Service Fund to make direct fee payments to vendors for State
tax processing services rendered in SFY 2001-02, and $45,600,000 to
make such payments in SFY 2002-03.
