Tax Fraud Analytics Funding.

This North Carolina bill allocates $4.4 million in recurring state funds starting in the 2026-2027 fiscal year to support tax fraud detection efforts. The money will be given to the Department of Revenue to expand its existing contract with the Government Data Analytics Center for software, data analysis, and technical infrastructure. These resources are intended to improve the state's ability to identify tax evasion and manage collection cases through enhanced analytics and managed services. The legislation takes effect on July 1, 2026, and directs the department to continue working with the analytics center's public-private partnerships.
