Back to Taxachusetts Book Launch May 25, 2022

BACK TO TAXACHUSETTS? represents the distillation of 24 studies on the impacts of the income tax proposal before Massachusetts voters this November. The book reviews the experience of states imposing similar taxes and demonstrates how the tax will devastate Massachusetts’ economic competitiveness and harm retirees, homeowners and small businesses.
It reveals the false narratives advanced by the tax’s proponents who portray it as affecting a small number of “millionaires,” funding designated purposes, and remedying Massachusetts’ “regressive” tax regime. Finally, it examines the tax’s impact in a post-pandemic
economy, where companies and employees are mobile,
states compete for telecommuters, and federal tax policies continue to
cap state and local tax
deductibility.
