Part 14 (2012/198): Additions, 1997-2001
Physical Description: 1.4 cubic feet (1 records center carton and 1 archives box) and 1 videorecording 
Scope and Content Note: Subject files, 1997-2001, from the administration of Cate Zeuske (1996-2001) consisting of correspondence; proposals and reports; articles; and other supporting documents for the Wisconsin Tax Amnesty Program (1998), the Sales Tax Rebate (2000), and the Streamlined Sales Tax System (2000). The tax amnesty program was a limited-time program offering certain taxpayers an incentive to pay outstanding obligations owed to the Department of Revenue. During the program, the department could forgive a portion of outstanding obligations, or forgive penalties and reduce delinquent interest charges, in exchange for full and prompt payment of the remaining balance due. The streamlined sales tax system was organized in March 2000 to simplify and modernize sales and use tax collection and administration in the United States. The videotape contains an ad set to the tune of Hank Williams Jr.'s "Your Cheatin' Heart" and explains how tax amnesty works for those who qualify.
