About the Commission
On July 21, 2010, Gov. Jay Nixon announced the creation of a Tax Credit Review Commission that will review the state's 61 tax credit programs and make recommendations for greater efficacy and enhanced return on investment. Gov. Nixon named 27 business, community and legislative leaders to serve on the commission.
"Missouri must have sharp, effective development tools that will promote growth, create jobs, strengthen our communities and continue to drive our economic recovery forward," Gov. Nixon said. "This commission will perform a critical analysis to ensure taxpayers receive the greatest possible return on investment from tax credit programs and that those programs are used efficiently and effectively. The work of the commission will play a vital role in reshaping the way the state uses financial incentives to achieve those important goals."
The commission will analyze the efficacy and return on investment for each of the state's 61 tax credit programs and make recommendations for modifications as appropriate.
