Mission

The Division of Tax Appeals provides taxpayers with a system of due process for resolving disputes with the Department of Taxation and Finance. The separation of tax administration from tax adjudication promotes the impartial and timely hearing of taxpayer disputes.

Budget Highlights

The Executive Budget recommends $3.4 million All Funds ($3.4 million General Fund) for the Division of Tax Appeals. This net decrease of $150,000 from the 2008-09 budget reflects reductions in employee costs and savings in nonpersonal service expenditures. The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 30 FTEs, a decrease of 1 FTE from the 2008-09 budget. This decrease reflects the impact of the statewide hiring freeze, implemented by the Executive in July of 2008.
