Final Report and Related Materials (State Tax Panel)
Dec 31, 2015
Established by section 137 of Conn. Acts 14-217, the State Tax Panel was created to "review the state's overall state and local tax structure." The 22-member panel, which consisted of 14 voting members deemed experts in "tax law, tax accounting, tax policy, economics and state, local and business finance," released its final report and recommendations in late December 2015.
The Panel's recommendations centered around five main areas:
- Personal income tax;
- General retail sales tax;
- General business taxation;
- Estate and gift taxation and probate fees; and
- Property tax and local revenue diversification.
The Panel's final report, as well as supporting materials and reports presented to the Panel, is available to the right.
