Bill Summary
This bill repeals the recently enacted surtax on certain businesses. In July of 2018 a surtax was imposed for four privilege periods on businesses subject to the corporation business tax, other than public utilities, with more than $1 million of taxable net income. For the first two privilege periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the surtax is imposed at 2.5 percent of income. The surtax is imposed at 1.5 percent for the two privilege periods after that. This bill eliminates the surtax for privilege periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, so that the surtax would no longer be in effect for the three privilege periods beginning on or after that date.
AI Summary
This bill repeals a surtax that was imposed on certain businesses, specifically those subject to the corporation business tax, excluding public utilities, with over $1 million in taxable net income. Originally, this surtax was set at 2.5% for the first two periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and was intended to be 1.5% for the subsequent two periods. However, this bill eliminates the surtax entirely for all privilege periods (which are accounting periods for tax purposes) beginning on or after January 1, 2019, effectively ending the surtax for the remaining three intended periods.
