The mission of the Tax Revision Commission (TRC) is to conduct a broad and deep review of the District’s tax laws, tax expenditures, revenues, tax base, and economy, and to provide the Council and the Mayor with recommendations for reform.

The Commission was established pursuant the Tax Revision Commission Reestablishment Act of 2011 to prepare comprehensive recommendations to the Council and the Mayor that provide for fairness in apportionment of taxes; broaden the tax base; make the District’s tax policy more competitive with surrounding jurisdictions; encourage business growth and job creation; and modernize, simplify, and increase transparency in the District’s tax code.
