MISSOURI GENERAL ASSEMBLY OVERWHELMING APPROVES AGRICULTURAL TAX CREDITS

This Missouri State Capitol on Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021, in Jefferson City,
Missouri.


DURING A SPECIAL SESSION, LAWMAKERS ALSO PASSED LEGISLATION LAST WEEK THAT CUTS
MISSOURI’S INCOME TAX. BOTH BILLS NOW HEAD TO GOV. MIKE PARSON’S DESK, WHERE HE
IS EXPECTED TO SIGN THEM.

Missouri’s special session centered around taxation is over.

The state Senate passed an agricultural tax credit bill on Tuesday that includes
incentives for meat processing, urban farming and purchases of farm equipment.
The bill passed 26-3 and now heads to Gov. Mike Parson’s desk, where he is
expected to sign it.

“I support this legislation because I recognize that the agriculture industry
touches every Missourian’s life,” said Sen. Lauren Arthur, D-Kansas City. “It is
appropriate for the state to intervene in some ways to support our farmers and
our agricultural industry.”

In some respects, the agricultural tax credit bill was much less controversial
than the other item on the special session agenda — an income tax cut that
passed last week. The agricultural tax credit received bipartisan support during
the regular session, but Parson, among other reasons, didn’t like how some of
the incentives were only in place for two years.

Still, the legislation didn’t receive universal praise on Tuesday.

Sen. Mike Moon, R-Lawrence County, questioned whether it was fair to provide tax
credits based on someone's vocation. He unsuccessfully sought to attach an
amendment that would have barred agricultural entities that foreign companies
control from receiving incentives.

“That’s great for the recipient,” Moon said. “But how about the parent who is
raising children without help? How about the business operator who is being
taxed and has no relief?”

While she voted for the bill, Arthur criticized the decision to pursue a tax cut
as shortsighted — especially when she’s heard from constituents that a lack of
available and affordable child care is a more pressing concern.

“This is sort of a weird economic moment,” Arthur said. “There are different
kinds of problems. And often, I get a little frustrated that the only solution
is tax cuts. So if we have inflation, the solution is tax cuts. If we have a
recession, the answer is tax cuts. If we have any number of economic issues, the
go-to solution is tax cuts.”

Republicans, including Parson, have contended it makes sense to cut the state’s
income tax when there’s a massive surplus and more money coming to the state
from a federal infrastructure bill. Democrats, though, argue that the benefit
for working-class Missourians will be relatively small, while the impact on
funding core state services could be much greater.
