LSA Document #08-755


IC 4-22-2.1-5 Statement Concerning Rules Affecting Small Businesses
Estimated Number of Small Businesses Impacted by this Rule:
The Department estimates that no small businesses will be impacted by this rule. Under IC 6-1.1-12.6, the Department must adopt rules concerning the application for the deduction for model residences. IC 6-1.1-12.6 allows qualified taxpayers a 50% deduction from the assessed value of a model residence used for display or demonstration to prospective buyers or lessees. The purpose of this rule is simply to provide uniformity in the application procedures for the deduction and to provide guidance to county auditors. The rule itself is "business neutral" in that it should have no direct or indirect effect on business.

Estimated Average Annual Administrative Costs That Small Businesses Will Incur:
The Department estimates that no small businesses will incur additional administrative expenses resulting from this rule because no additional reporting or filing requirements will be added by the rule.

Estimated Total Annual Economic Impact on Small Businesses:
The Department estimates that there will be no financial impact on small businesses as a result of this rule. Small businesses will have no responsibilities associated with this rule.
Justification: IC 6-1.1-12.6-9 requires the Department to adopt rules to implement the model residence deduction statute.
Supporting Data, Studies, and Analyses: Because no financial impact is expected as a result of this rule, no supporting data, studies, or analyses were relied upon by the agency in its determination.

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis of Alternative Methods:
The purpose of the rule is simply to establish application procedures for the model residence deduction in accordance with the law and provide guidance to county auditors with respect to the deduction, thus the Department did not conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of alternative methods. Additionally, because no financial impact is expected as a result of compliance with this rule, neither less stringent nor more simplified requirements are necessary for this rule.
Supporting Data, Studies, and Analyses:
Because of the nature of the rule, no supporting data, studies, or analyses were conducted.
