关于btav的常见问题

本页包括常见问题, 答案, 关于大厦, 技术, 及学术/体育V资本征款(btav). This levy will be on the ballot in February 2022 along with the Educational Programs and Operations Levy (EP&O).

税金额

btav的征费是多少?

如果获得批准，BTA V将在六年内筹集7.83亿美元.

• 这将导致每1美元约47美分的税收,2023年的物业评估价值为5万元, 第一年将被收集.

为什么btav比btaiv更强大?

现在的建筑和材料成本比2016年更高, and the amount of funding included for technology is twice as much as in the previous levy. This is also the first time that critical maintenance could be included in a capital levy.

每1元征款税率,000 of assessed value is just 4 cents more than the levy amount when voters approved BTA IV in 2016.

为什么这次征税中对技术的资助比以前要高?

This is mostly because SPS distributed laptop computers to every student and teacher during the pandemic. 额外的设备不仅增加了设备的成本, 还有支持, wi-fi等基础设施, 和软件. 国家没有为技术提供太多资金, 所以资本税为SPS的技术提供了大部分资金.
