The amount of time spent processing excise tax will soon be reduced for the Pulaski County Auditor’s Office, thanks to some new software. On Monday, the county commissioners approved the payment of a $6,000 invoice for the new system, at the request of Auditor Laura Wheeler.
“Right now, we’re using some complicated Excel spreadsheets, and this is a one-time cost,” Wheeler explained. “We will be able to recover in man-hours that cost in about three years.” Funding for the new software was included in the 2019 budget.
