Do you have recommendations on state tax policy? The
State Tax Panel will hold a public hearing this month that will provide you with an opportunity to contribute to a much-needed discussion on this topic.
Among the subjects that may be addressed at the hearing are: Sales and Use Tax, Estate and Gift Taxation, Personal Income Tax, Property Tax, Tax Exempt Properties, PILOT, Business Personal Property Taxation, Personal Tangible Property, Real Estate Conveyance and Controlling Interest Transfers and Local Option Taxes.
Panel staff has requested recommendations and solutions, not just commentary on the tax system.
