A.R.S. 33:9038.34 authorizes certain local governmental subdivisions or entities to issue revenue bonds payable from revenues generated by economic development projects with a pledge and dedication of the sales tax increments to be used as a guaranty of any shortfall, or at the option of the local governmental subdivision or tax recipient entity, payable directly from an irrevocable pledge and dedication of up to the full amount of sales tax increments, in an amount to be determined by the local governmental subdivision or tax recipient entity, to finance or refinance all or any part of an economic development project as described in R.S. 33:9038.31 et seq.

B. Effective with the July 2009 filing period, dealers located in a tax increment financing district where the state sales tax increment is dedicated to finance or refinance an economic development project as authorized by R.S. 47:9038.34 or a joint venture or cooperative endeavor for a public purpose as authorized by R.S. 33:9038.35 will be required to file the Sales Tax return, Form R-1029, electronically with the Department of Revenue using the electronic format prescribed by the department.

2. If the penalty exceeds $25,000, it may be waived by the secretary only after approval by the Board of Tax Appeals.
