The hefty tax overhaul bill is headed to the House floor after getting strong support from members of a legislative panel Friday afternoon.
The legislation wasn't so popular with the parade of business representatives who testified on it.
Attorneys, broadcasters, accountants and tax advocates packed the House Revenue and Taxation Committee hearing to speak about the 257-page proposal that has been long-awaited but only released two days ago. The measure sponsored by Rep. Tim Quinn, R-Heber City, expands the state's sales tax to cover a broad array of services, while at the same time reducing sales tax and income tax rates.
