BATON ROUGE, La.  -- Watch Systems, LLC today
announced that the State of Louisiana today has approved a multi-year renewal
of its highly-effective TaxWatch program, which makes available an Internet-
based tax code calculation system for all State Motor Vehicle Offices.
TaxWatch makes collection of parish and municipality collections much more
accurate and efficient by mapping addresses against the proper tax
jurisdictions in real time.  Watch Systems developed this leading-edge
technology in conjunction with the Louisiana Department of Revenue and the
Information Services division of the State Department of Public Safety, whose
leaders immediately saw the applicability of Watch Systems' mapping technology
as a timely solution to the problem of returning fair tax results for all of
Louisiana's special taxing districts.

While Louisiana launched the program three years ago, the rest of the
nation is now addressing the need for 'destination-based' taxing solutions to
address complex taxing issues such as online purchases.  The steps Watch
Systems and Louisiana took to develop a solution became the building blocks
for TaxWatch, which was also recently selected by the State of Kansas for a
five-year implementation, further validating Louisiana's leadership decision.
 
Rex McDonald, director of Information Services for the State Department of
Public Safety, initially brought the program to Kay Hodges, commissioner of
the Office of Motor Vehicles.  After seeing a demonstration of Watch Systems'
mapping applications for law enforcement, McDonald reasoned that geocoding of
a residence could just as easily be mapped against Louisiana's complex array
of special taxing districts to accurately match the appropriate tax rates.
 
"We've made the collection of sales taxes on motor vehicles simpler and
more accurate for people doing business in Louisiana, and other states are
taking cues from our success," said Hodges.  "We are much more accurate in
ensuring that local taxing districts get the correct amount of revenue.  We've
also made the entire process much more consistent."
 
"It's important that Louisiana get credit for being the first to solve a
thorny problem," said Watch Systems partner Mike Cormaci.  "With 364
independent taxing districts, our state has one of the most difficult
environments for destination-based taxation.  But they had the vision for the
solution years ago, and now it's becoming clearer to everyone else just how
well the system works."
