Debate Continues on Governor Baker’s $700 Million in Tax Relief 
Debate on the roughly $700 million worth of tax breaks offered in the Governor’s FY23 budget and companion bills has taken center stage on Beacon Hill.  

After a meeting with House Speaker Mariano and Senate President Spilka earlier this week, Governor Baker renewed his calls to provide financial relief to Massachusetts residents. The measures include efforts to overhaul the estate tax code, which the Society has long-supported and recently provided testimony to do so.

Over the last month, we met with staff members on both the Senate and House Committees on Ways and Means to express our support for the various tax relief proposals, as well as the Governor’s plan to update the income tax conformity date from 2005 to 2022. We look forward to continuing our work with the Legislators and their staff members on your behalf to see such proposals passed into law.

In case you missed it, read our whitepaper supporting the Governor’s proposal to update the income conformity date here. We will keep you posted on any new developments.
