*Oversight notes, currently, the state individual income tax rate (5.3% in CY 2022) is to be 
reduced in 0.10% annual increments (if certain triggers are met) until it reaches 4.8% (in CY 
2027 at the earliest).  This proposal allows three additional 0.1% GR-growth-dependent 
reductions until it reaches 4.5%.  For fiscal note purposes, Oversight assumes these new 
reductions may be eligible to begin occurring starting with CY 2028.  The earliest all three of the 
new tax rate reductions could be implemented is CY 2030.
** Oversight notes the impact for FY2023 reflects amount of refunds claimed for the income tax

FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Oversight notes that this proposal contains an emergency clause (Section C) that would make 
this proposal effective upon signing by the Governor for the designated statutory sections.  For 
the simplicity of the fiscal note, Oversight will assume these provisions would go into effect on 
October 1, 2022 unless noted differently.
Oversight notes that this proposal contains a Section B with an effective date for section 
(143.011).  That section would go into effect on January 1, 2023.
Section 143.011 - Individual Income Tax Rate
Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) note this proposal 
would create three additional 0.1% reductions to the top rate of income tax to begin after all 
existing rate reductions under current law have occurred, dependent on net general revenue 
growth.  The additional reductions shall only occur when net general revenue in a fiscal year has 
grown by at least $250 million over the highest of the previous three fiscal years.  
B&P notes that the net general revenue growth requirement is to be adjusted annually for 
inflation after the first trigger has been met.  For example: if the first trigger is met for tax year 
2028, then the $250 million would be adjusted before determining whether the trigger was again 
met for tax year 2029 or later.  B&P further notes that per Paragraph 144.011.5(1)(b) the trigger 
is to be adjusted by the “percent increase in inflation”, which is defined under Subdivision 
143.011.7(4).
B&P further notes that under current law the top tax rate will be 5.2% starting with tax year 
2023.  B&P notes that per SB 153 (2021) there will be a 0.1% reduction in the top rate for tax 
year 2024.  Based on current revenue forecasts and average revenue growth, B&P estimates that 
revenues in FY24, FY25, and FY26 will reach the growth trigger requirement for reductions to 
the top rate of tax.  Therefore, the top rate of tax is estimated to be reduced by 0.1% in tax years 
2025, 2026, 2027 under SB 509 (2014) and SB 153 (2021).  Table 1 shows the current versus 
proposed top rate of tax. L.R. No. 5974S.01I

Using tax year 2019 data, the most recent complete tax year available, and accounting for the 
changes in individual income tax law created by SB 509 (2014) and SB 153 (2021), B&P 
estimates that this proposal may reduce tax collections by $107.7M as early as tax year 2028.  
Once this proposal fully implements, B&P estimates this provision could reduce tax collections 
by $320.5M annually, compared to revenues under SB 509 (2014) and SB 153 (2021) with a top 
rate 4.8%.  Table 2 shows the estimated revenue impact by tax year.

However, because this proposal would take effect January 1, 2023 individuals will adjust their 
withholdings and declarations during FY23.  Based on actual collections data, B&P estimates 
that 42% of individual income taxes are paid during fiscal year 1 and 58% are paid during fiscal 
year 2.  Therefore, B&P estimates that this provision could reduce TSR and GR by $45.2M as 
early as FY28.  Once fully implemented, and annually thereafter, this proposal may reduce TSR 
and GR by $320.5M, compared to revenues under SB 509 (2014) and SB 153 (2021) with a top 
rate 4.8%.  Table 3 shows the estimated impact by fiscal year. L.R. No. 5974S.01I

Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) note in 2013, Missouri’s individual income 
tax rate was 6% per the tax tables printed in statutes.  In 2014, SB 509 then allowed for five 
reductions of the individual income tax rate based on certain revenue triggers (Section 
143.011.2).  The Department notes that currently three of those reductions have occurred (TY 
2018, TY 2019 and TY 2022) and the fourth is forecasted to happen in tax year 2023, which will 
set the rate at 5.2%. 
Additionally, in 2019 HB 2540 was added to statues that caused the individual income tax rate to 
be decreased by four-tenths of one percent (Section 143.011.3).  Then during the 101
st
 General 
Assembly regular session SB 153 & 97 was passed that would allow starting in tax year 2024 
another two reductions of SB 509 (Section 143.011.4).  Therefore, as of the filing of the fiscal 
note, the individual income tax rate for tax year 2022 is 5.3% and the tax rate scheduled for tax 
year 2023 is 5.2%.
This proposal in Section 143.011.5 adds language that would allow the individual income tax 
rate to decrease below the scheduled 4.8%.  This proposal allows an additional three 0.1% 
reductions allowing the tax rate to drop to 4.5%.  This proposal does restrict the additional three 
reductions to no more than one per year.
These future reductions are only allowed to occur if the amount of net general revenue collected 
in the previous fiscal year exceeds the highest amount of net general revenue collected in any of 
the three fiscal years prior to such fiscal year by at least two hundred fifty million dollars.  
Additionally, this proposal requires the $250 million trigger to be adjusted annually for inflation 
starting in the first year these three reductions are made.  It is unclear from the language in the 
proposal as to when the calculation of the trigger and implementation of the cut would occur. 
For fiscal note purposes only, DOR assumes that the reductions are eligible to occur starting with 
tax year 2028 (the first year after the current reductions).  Additionally, the current process of 
calculating the SB 509 trigger is done in the fall and implemented the following tax year starting 
January 1
st
.  For fiscal note purposes, DOR will assume that same process is followed.
Using the Department’s internal Income Tax Model that contains confidential taxpayer data, 
DOR was able to estimate the following impact of these new changes for tax year 2023. L.R. No. 5974S.01I

The Department notes this provision will require changes to the taxpayer program, forms and 
website.  DOR estimates it will cost $10,000 for these changes.  No additional FTE would be 
needed to implement these tax changes.
Oversight notes that DOR assumes this proposal will require programming changes estimated to 
cost $10,000. Oversight
handle a certain amount of activity each year. Oversight assumes DOR could absorb the costs 
related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require additional staffing and duties at 
substantial costs, DOR could request funding through the appropriation process.
Oversight notes both DOR and B&P’sestimates includes data from DOR and B&P’s internal 
Income Tax Model. Additionally, Oversight notes both DOR and B&P’s estimates of revenue 
impact assume all scheduled rate reductions created by SB 509 (2014) and SB 153 (2021) will 
occur. 
Oversight notes that it does not currently have the resources and/or access to state tax data to 
produce a thorough independent revenue estimate and is unable to verify the revenue estimates 
provided by B&P and DOR. Therefore, for the purpose of this fiscal note, Oversight will note 
B&P’s estimated impact for this proposal.
Section 143.803 - One-Time Income Tax Rebate 
Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) state this provision 
would grant a $325 refundable tax credit for taxpayers filing single, married filing separately, or 
head of household and $650 for married filing joint.  Individual with a filing status of single, 
married filing separately, or head of household must have a Missouri adjusted gross income 
(MAGI) of less than $150,000; while married filing combined taxpayers must have a MAGI of 
less than $300,000 in order to qualify for the refundable credit.  Per this proposal, DOR shall 
automatically apply the tax credit to a taxpayer’s tax liability and refund any excess amount.   L.R. No. 5974S.01I 
Bill No. SB 3  
Page 7 of 
September 18, 2022
KLP:LR:OD
The tax credit shall only be available for tax year 2021 and all refunds must be sent to taxpayers 
no later than December 1, 2022.
B&P notes for tax year 2019, the most recent complete year available, 1,554,016 single, 380,109 
head of household, 2,444,685 married filing combined, and 72,379 Property Tax Credit (no 
corresponding income tax return) taxpayers filed returns with Missouri taxable income.  
PTC Information
B&P notes that it does not have enough information to determine how many PTC returns were 
for single or married individuals.  However, based on PTC return data, approximately 2.1% of all 
PTC claims are by surviving spouses.  B&P assumes that surviving spouses would be treated as 
qualifying widow(er) for filing status.  Therefore, such individuals would not qualify for this tax 
credit.  Based on the 72,379 PTC claims, B&P estimates that around 1,520 (72,379 x 2.1%) 
would not qualify for this tax credit based on filing status.
Based on the 2019 income tax filing data, B&P determined that 38.7% of all qualifying 
individual income tax returns are for married filing combined, while 61.3% of returns were filed 
by single and head of household individuals.  For the purpose of this fiscal note, B&P will 
assume that PTC claims follow a similar percentage breakdown between single and married.  
Therefore, B&P estimates that of the 70,859 (72,379 – 1,520) qualifying PTC returns, 
approximately 43,419 were filed by single individuals, qualifying for the $325 credit; while 
27,440 were filed by married individuals, qualifying for the $650 credit.  Table 4 shows the 
estimated tax credit impact for individuals filing the PTC only claim.

Based on the above data, B&P estimates that at least 4,449,669 individuals would qualify for this 
tax credit.  B&P does not have enough information to estimate accurately how many non-
residents may also apply for this tax credit.  Table 5 shows the estimated impact.

High Estimate
However, as noted above, this proposal is not limited to individuals with a Missouri tax liability.  
Therefore, it is possible that all Missouri adults over age 18 could file a return in order to qualify 
for this refundable credit.  Using population estimates published by the U.S. Census and income 
tax filing data, B&P estimates that an additional 230,316 Missouri residents could also apply for 
the credit.  B&P does not have enough information to determine whether such individuals would 
file as single or married.  For the purpose of this fiscal note, B&P will assume that such 
individuals file as single.
Therefore, B&P estimate that at least 4,679,985 Missouri residents over the age of 18 may 
qualify for this credit.  B&P does not have enough information to estimate accurately how many 
non-residents may also apply for this tax credit.  Table 6 shows the estimated impact. L.R. No. 5974S.01I

Summary
Therefore, B&P estimates that this provision could reduce TSR and GR by an amount that could 
exceed $2,249,583,120 to $2,324,435,820 in FY23.
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) note this section gives an automatic 
refundable tax credit of $325 for a taxpayer with a filing status of single, married filing 
separately, or head of household with an adjusted gross income of less than $150,000 for their 
tax year 2021 return.  Additionally, this grants an automatic refundable tax credit for a taxpayer 
with a filing status of married filing combined with an adjusted gross income of $300,000.  They 
receive a $650 credit.  The proposal requires the Department to issue these refund to the 
taxpayers by December 1, 2022 without any requirements that a taxpayer have to amend their tax 
return to receive the credit.  This is to be a one-time credit.  
The Department is not able to determine a final fiscal impact due to the following:
CREDIT
Qualified Widower Not Allowed Credit
This proposal in identifying specific filing categories eligible for the credit have excluded 
qualified widow(er)s from receiving the credit.  
Married Filing Combined Credit
The proposal states that “a taxpayer with a filing status of married filing jointly, and with a 
Missouri adjusted gross income of less than three hundred thousand dollars, six hundred fifty 
dollars.”  The term “a taxpayer” instead of “taxpayers with a combined Missouri adjusted gross 
income” assumes that each person listed on the combined return would receive the credit.  On a 
combined return, each spouse has their own Missouri taxable income and Missouri adjusted 
gross income (Section 143.031.2, RSMo) and their income tax liability is separate (Section  L.R. No. 5974S.01I 
Bill No. SB 3  
Page 10 of 15
September 18, 2022
KLP:LR:OD
143.491.1, RSMo).  This means each taxpayer in the couple would get a check for $650 so long 
as that particular taxpayer’s reported Missouri adjusted gross income was less than $300,000.
Property Tax Credit Filers
DOR notes that it does not have enough time to pull the PTC returns to determine how many 
PTC returns were for single or married individuals.  However, based on PTC return data, 
approximately 2.1% of all PTC claims are by surviving spouses.  The Department assumes that 
surviving spouses would be treated as qualifying widow(er) for filing status.  Therefore, such 
individuals would not qualify for this tax credit.  The Department estimates that based upon the 
72,379 PTC claims, hat around 1,520 (72,379 x 2.1%) would not qualify for this tax credit based 
on filing status.
Based on the 2019 income tax filing data, DOR estimates that 38.7% of all qualifying individual 
income tax returns are for married filing combined, while 61.3% of returns were filed by single 
and head of household individuals.  DOR will assume a similar percentage for this fiscal note.  
Therefore, of the 70,859 (72,379 – 1,520) qualifying PTC returns, approximately 43,419 were 
filed by single individuals, qualifying for the $325 credit; while 27,440 were filed by married 
individuals, qualifying for the $650 credit.  Table 4 shows the estimated tax credit impact for 
individuals filing the PTC only claim.

Missouri Residents without Taxable Income
This proposal is not limited to individuals with a Missouri tax liability.  Therefore, it is possible 
that all Missouri adults over age 18 could file a return in order to qualify for this refundable 
credit.  Using population estimates published by the U.S. Census and income tax filing data, an 
additional 230,316 Missouri residents may also apply for the credit.  DOR does not have enough 
information to determine whether such individuals would file as single or married.  For the 
simplicity of the fiscal note, DOR will assume they all file as single.
There are at least 4,679,985 Missouri residents over the age of 18 in Missouri.

Missouri Residents, U.S Citizens and Resident Aliens
This proposal does not specify that the taxpayer have any Missouri income or other relationship 
with Missouri.  Therefore, this refundable tax credit would apply to all U.S. citizens and resident 
aliens who have a Missouri adjusted gross income below the identified threshold (which includes 
$0 Missouri adjusted gross income).
This proposal does not limit this credit to taxpayers with a Missouri tax liability nor does it 
require the taxpayer to be a Missouri resident.  Therefore, non-residents with little or no Missouri 
taxable income could be eligible to claim this refundable credit.  The Self-Employed Health 
Insurance tax credit was similarly designed.  It does not restrict the credit to Missouri residents 
or require Missouri taxable income and each year over 800 non-residents claim the credit for  L.R. No. 5974S.01I 
Bill No. SB 3

over $950,000 loss to general revenue.  Given that many non-residents claim that limited tax 
credit, DOR estimates that this $325 credit could result in significantly more than $1 million paid 
out to non-residents.  
Not an Individual Income Tax
This proposal allows the credit to a taxpayer; however, taxpayer is not defined.  This credit does 
not expressly state this is limited to individual income tax, so individuals with fiduciary or 
withholding tax liability under Chapter 143 might have this credit used against their fiduciary or 
withholding tax liability.  
The Department is unable to estimate the number of non-Missouri residents that will claim this 
credit.  DOR will show the impact of this proposal as exceeding the provided estimates.
ADMINISTRATION
This proposal has an emergency clause that would make this proposal effective upon the 
Governor’s signature.  This proposal also requires that the refund checks be distributed to 
taxpayer’s no later than December 1, 2022.  Due to the listed concerns below, the Department 
will be challenged in meeting this deadline:
Mailing
Each year the Department processes approximately 3,200,000 individual income tax returns.  
Over the last several years the Department has averaged 1,375,000 taxpayers that receive a 
refund and have it direct deposited (43%).  Another 450,000 are entitled to a refund and have an 
actual check mailed to them (14%).  With the remaining 1,375,000 owing the state money 
(43%).  While it would be the intention of the Department to send as many of the credits out to 
taxpayers via direct deposit, DOR would still expect that at least 57% of the checks would be 
mailed.  
Therefore if the 4,449,669 current Missouri filers that are identified above as getting the credit, 
DOR would expect this distribution rate:
How Distributed% of filerAmountDirect Deposit of Credit43%1,913,358Mailed Credit57%2,536,311
Therefore, the Department would need at minimum, envelopes, paper for checks, and postage for 
each of these 2,536,311 credits.  The Department does not purchase the paper for the checks that 
is handled by the Office of Administration, so those costs are not included in this fiscal note

The current rate for the envelopes and postage is $0.59 per piece.  This would result in a cost for 
the envelopes and postage of $1,496,423 ($0.59 * 2,536,311).  However, the Department is 
experiencing difficulties in locating a vendor with envelopes in stock due to supply chain issues.   L.R. No. 5974S.01I

DOR has been searching for vendors to prepare for the regular tax season and do not have these 
supplies in stock.  The Department has been told it could take more than eight weeks to receive 
enough supply.
The Department notes it takes two people to run the mail machine.  They can do about 5,000 
pieces of mail an hour.  Given the number of credits to be mailed (2.5M), it would take over 500 
hours to get them all out.  To meet the deadline of December 1, 2022 the Department would be 
required to run the mail machine more than its normal 40 hours a week, resulting in the need to 
bring on temporary staff.  The Department estimates that each temporary staff person would cost 
$12,750.  At a minimum, it would require 4 additional temporary staff at a cost of $51,000.
In order to issue the checks the Department would be required to program the Individual Income 
Tax System to automatically apply the credit to each taxpayer’s account if they meet the 
Missouri adjusted gross income limits.  The programming costs for the Individual Income Tax 
System are estimated at $10,000.  Should this be determined that it would need to be added into 
the financial institutions, and withholding databases, these would require additional 
programming changes expected at another $10,000. 
Appropriation
Annually the Department is given an appropriation to cover the amount of refunds DOR sends to 
taxpayers.  DOR’s current appropriation authority for FY 2023 is $1.5B.  As noted in this 
proposal, DOR does not have enough appropriation authority to pay the administrative costs of 
this proposal ($1,567,423) and for the credits themselves ($2,235,722,450) in addition to meeting 
DOR’s normal yearly refund obligation ($1,500,000,000).  Without additional appropriations, 
DOR will not be able to distribute all the refund checks by the required deadline of December 1, 
2022.  
The Department estimates the impact of this proposal will exceed the $2,251,160,543 to 
$2,336,013,243 for credit and administration costs in FY23.
Oversight notes the Department of Revenue is not able to determine a final fiscal impact due to 
the factors explained above. Therefore, for the purpose of this fiscal note, Oversight will note the 
fiscal impact for the tax rebate allowed in section 143.803 could exceed the figures estimated by 
DOR.  L.R. No. 5974S.01I

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
Current law provides for reductions to the top rate of income tax to an eventual rate of 4.8% over 
a period of years, contingent on meeting certain net general revenue collection triggers. This act 
adds three additional potential reductions in the top rate of tax to an eventual rate of 4.5%. Such 
additional reductions shall only be effective if the amount of net general revenue collected in the 
previous fiscal year exceeds the highest amount of net general revenue collected in any of the 
three fiscal years prior to such fiscal year by at least $250 million. Beginning in the first calendar 
year in which a reduction is made pursuant to this act, the amount of net general revenue 
collected required to reduce the top rate of tax shall be adjusted annually by the percent increase 
in inflation. (Section 143.011)
This act also authorizes a one-time tax credit for the 2021 tax year. Such tax credit shall be $325 
for taxpayers filing single, married filing separately, or head of household, and with a Missouri 
adjusted gross income of less than $150,000. The tax credit shall be $650 for taxpayers filing 
married filing jointly and with a Missouri adjusted gross income of less than $300,000.
The tax credit shall be considered a refund of an overpayment of tax, and the Department of 
Revenue shall automatically apply such tax credit to a taxpayer's tax liability and remit a refund 
to a taxpayer no later than December 1, 2022.
This provision shall expire on December 31, 2023. (Section 143.803)
This act contains an emergency clause.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not 
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
