Bill would extend renewable energy tax rebate

Legislation introduced in the House Revenue & Taxation Committee on Thursday would extend the state's renewable energy sales tax rebate through 2014, Twin Falls Times-News reporter Ben Botkin reports; you can read his full story here in today's Times-News. The current rebate, enacted in 2005, is set to expire June 30. Botkin reports that wind power developers say the rebate is needed so they can be competitive with companies from neighboring states that either already offer tax breaks or don’t have a sales tax.
