  • Report of the Tax Fairness Commission Commonwealth of Massachusetts March 1, 2014
    Report of the Tax Fairness Commission Commonwealth of Massachusetts March 1, 2014 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Tax Fairness Commission was established by the Massachusetts Legislature in 2013 as part of the Act Relative to Transportation Finance. The Commission was charged with analyzing a broad array of the Commonwealth’s tax laws and focused on the equity of current tax policies. The fifteen member bipartisan Commission met publicly eight times from September 2013 until February 2014. The Commission reviewed data and analysis prepared by the Department of Revenue, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, the Joint Committee on Revenue, Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, the Pioneer Institute, and others. After fully engaging in a broad, comprehensive, and lively debate, the Commission now issues this report. Finding The Commission concluded the following: That the overall tax system in Massachusetts is regressive, meaning middle- and low- income taxpayers pay a larger share of their income in taxes than high-income taxpayers. Recommendations The Commission voted on a number of proposals that strive to make the overall tax system fairer in Massachusetts. By majority vote, the Commission recommends the following: • Institute a graduated income tax through a Constitutional amendment. • Institute the following package proposal: o Increase the state funded match of the federal EITC from its current 15% rate and retain its refundability. o Expand the property tax circuit breaker, which is currently limited to senior citizens, to make all low-income individuals and families eligible. o Raise the current personal exemption on single filers, heads of households, and married filing jointly.

  • Effects of Federal Tax Policy on Agriculture
    Effects of Federal Tax Policy on Agriculture. By Ron Durst and James Monke. Food and Rural Economics Division, Economic Research Service, U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, Agricultural Economic Report No. 800. Abstract This report analyzes the effects of the current Federal tax code on farming and evaluates tax proposals to assist beginning farmers. Investment, management, and production decisions in agriculture continue to be influenced by Federal tax laws. Farmers continue to benefit from both Federal income and estate tax policies tar- geted to agriculture. These provisions exert upward pressure on farmland values and help support ongoing trends that increase the number of very small and large farms. However, the influence of the current tax structure with lower marginal tax rates and a broader income base is less than in earlier decades and may be small relative to government farm programs. Tax proposals to assist beginning farmers would likely increase the availability of land for lease or purchase, but would do little to make land more affordable. Keywords: Federal tax policy, income tax, social security tax, structure, small farms, estate and gift tax, capital gains, farm losses Disclaimer: Readers should not construe information in this report as advice given by the U.S. Department of Agriculture but should consult with their own attorneys or the Internal Revenue Service for tax advice.
