The Division of Tax Appeals’ (DTA) current-year savings target is $338,000, reflecting the Governor’s order for a 10.35 percent reduction in projected agency spending.
Savings of $120,000 will be achieved by the Division. Given the relatively small size of DTA, additional reductions may compromise the agency’s ability to achieve its mission. They will continue, however, to work toward implementing additional savings actions to achieve a portion of their remaining target in a manner that does not compromise their core mission.
Major Savings Initiatives
DTA has already implemented the following actions to achieve savings.
Re-organization of its personnel, including not re-filling personnel positions. ($85,000)
Equipment maintenance. ($15,000)
Improvement to its Information Technology (IT) unit to automate, streamline and efficiently expedite its case management systems. ($20,000)
