## Text

(A) The Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, shall monitor and review the tax burden borne by the classes of property listed in Article X, Section 1 of the State Constitution. To determine the tax burden of each class of property, the Office of Research and Statistics may use a ratio that compares total property taxes paid by the property class divided by the total fair market value of the property class. The Department of Revenue shall provide to the Office of Research and Statistics the information on assessed values and fair market values of properties as collected in accordance with Section 59-20-20(3). (B) The Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, shall develop a methodology to determine and estimate tax incidence. A tax incidence statement, prepared by the Office of Research and Statistics, must be attached to any bill or resolution that has the potential to cause a shift in tax incidence. The tax incidence refers to the ultimate payer of a tax. (C) The Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, may consult with outside experts with respect to fulfilling the requirements of subsections (A) and (B) of this section. (D) Reports of the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office required under this section must be published and reported to the Governor, the members of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority, the members of the General Assembly and made available to the public. Code Commissioner's Note At the direction of the Code Commissioner, references in this section to the offices of the former State Budget and Control Board, Office of the Governor, or other agencies, were changed to reflect the transfer of them to the Department of Administration or other entities, pursuant to the directive of the South Carolina Restructuring Act, 2014 Act No. 121, SECTION 5(D)(1). Pursuant to the directive to the Code Commissioner in 2018 Act No. 246, SECTION 10, "Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office" was substituted for all references to "Office of Research and Statistics of the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office".
