The Alaska Department of Revenue (DOR) is the state agency that collects Alaska's taxes and administers the Permanent Fund Dividend. Its divisions include the Tax Division, the Treasury Division, the Permanent Fund Dividend Division and Child Support Services.
The department collects oil and gas production and property taxes along with taxes on mining, motor fuel and tobacco. Its revenue forecasts, built on the price of a barrel of oil, set the starting point for the state budget, and a change in oil prices moves the treasury's balance directly. Its economists model how proposed tax changes would work, including the tax structure for the proposed Alaska LNG pipeline.
DOR presents that analysis to legislative committees such as Senate Finance, and lawmakers set its own budget through the appropriations process. Tax disputes it pursues can reach the Alaska Supreme Court, and the excise taxes owed by marijuana businesses connect it to the state's licensing boards.
