Board meetings and strategic plans from Calhoun County
The discussion focused on the treatment of county-owned vehicles used by elected officials as a fringe benefit, an issue under scrutiny by the IRS for over 30 years. The presentation covered the requirements for a vehicle to be considered a qualified non-personal use vehicle, which would exempt it from being treated as taxable income. Additionally, there was a discussion about payroll tax and potential social security monies that may or may not have to be paid for COVID-related wages.
The meeting discussed the interim report of the ARPA American Rescue Plan Act. The main topic was the clarification from the treasury that the lost revenue calculator would need to be completed in the interim report. The portal was not allowing users to put in zero and proceed, so MACO contacted the treasury, which clarified that the lost revenue calculator would have to be finished for the interim report. The interim report is due on August 31st. The meeting also discussed options for counties, including completing the report by the deadline or being late and facing non-compliance and a corrective action plan.
