Bill Summary

Relative to the interest paid to taxpayers on tax abatements. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to change the interest rate paid to taxpayers on tax abatements, which are reductions in the amount of tax owed. Specifically, it amends two sections of chapter 59 of the General Laws, which deals with taxation. In both instances, the bill seeks to replace the current interest rate of "eight" percent with "two" percent. This means that if a taxpayer is owed money back due to a tax abatement, the government will pay them a lower interest rate on that amount.
