A new report released by Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick uncovers significant shortcomings within Missouri’s Property Tax Credit program, highlighting issues such as unverified claims, wrongful denials, and inaccurately distributed amounts. Classified with a “poor” rating, the program has displayed considerable inadequacies, as detailed in the report, which also noted failures by the Department of Revenue (DOR) to keep essential supporting documents, a situation that has increased fraud risks and deprived the General Assembly of crucial data for budget decisions.
