Republican Utah lawmakers release a few tantalizing details of the tax reform plan they’re hammering out behind closed doors

The eagerly-awaited tax overhaul bill expected to come out this week will call for taxing health-insurance premiums, real estate deals, legal and financial services and a wide variety of other services from lawn care to haircuts.

While the proposal calls for blanketing many more transactions with the sales tax, the average Utah family would actually see some relief through a combination of rate reductions and credits, lawmakers said Tuesday.

A work group of House and Senate lawmakers and executive branch representatives have been talking behind the scenes for weeks on a bill designed to course-correct a state tax structure that has been breaking down over time.
