Monica Ford Interim Procurement Officer March 24, 2023 With Connecticut phase out, Mass. only remaining New England state imposing Capital Stock Tax A new report from the nonpartisan, nonprofit Tax Foundation about capital stock taxes nationally shows that Massachusetts will soon be the only remaining state in New England to impose the tax. The Tax Foundation states that “Unlike corporate income taxes, which are levied on a business’s net income (or profit), state capital stock taxes are imposed on a business’s net worth (or accumulated wealth). As such, the tax tends to penalize investment and requires businesses to pay regardless of whether they make a profit in a given year, or ever.” To view their new report, access https://taxfoundation. org/state-capital-stock-taxes-franchise-taxes-2023 Connecticut is set to phase out their capital stock tax by 2024, leaving Massachusetts as the only remaining state in New England – and one of only 16 remaining state’s nationally – to impose the outmoded tax. “When we talk about allowing Massachusetts to recapture some of its competitive edge, at a bare minimum, we need to eliminate an outdated tax like this. This outmoded levy is directly disincentivizing future investment TAX | SEE PAGE 16 - LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI23P1432EA Estate of: MARIA MACHADO Date of Death: 08/26/2019 CITATION ON PETITION FOR FORMAL ADJUDICATION To all interested persons: A petition for S/A-Late and Limited Formal Testacy and/or Appointment has been filed by: Raphael Machado of Everett, MA requesting that the Court enter a formal Decree and Order and for such other relief as requested in the Petition.
