David Nagle Background The Massachusetts Constitution has authorized the legislature to levy a personal income tax since 1915 but requires that rates be uniform “upon incomes derived from the same class of property.”[4] “Whatever may be the merits of the system commonly described as the graduated income tax, it is prohibited by article 44” of the amendments to the Massachusetts Constitution.[5] Massachusetts currently taxes ordinary income and long-term capital gains at 5.1 percent, and short-term gains and gains from
