March Revenues Widen FY17 Budget Gap – courtesy of Rasky Partners Inc.
March tax revenues were $81 million below budget benchmarks for the month, opening up a $220 million gap. Income tax collections of $889 million in March were 1.1 percent below the benchmark, while the $451 million collected in sales taxes missed targets by 2.1 percent. Corporate and business taxes also fell below 2016 levels by $27 million.
While the state has taken in $18.1 billion this fiscal year, representing a 1.7 percent growth over the same period last year, year-to-date revenues remain below the projected benchmarks. In March, Governor Baker's budget Chief Kristen Lepore would not rule out another round of emergency cuts if the revenue gap worsened in March. Lepore and the Department of Revenue stated that they will be carefully monitoring the last three months of the fiscal year, as they contribute roughly 30 percent of the Commonwealth's tax collections for the year.
Rosenberg Suggests Tax on Services – courtesy of Rasky Partners Inc.
While addressing the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce in early April, Senate President Stanley Rosenberg said that Massachusetts should discuss imposing a tax on services. Rosenberg stated that Massachusetts has a sales tax that applies to goods, but not services, even though our economy is largely driven by services.
This would not be the first time the state has attempted to tax services. A business and professional services sales tax was passed in the 1990's, but it was quickly repealed by the Weld administration. Then in 2013, lawmakers attempted to establish a sales tax on certain computer services. They ultimately repealed the tax amid an outcry from businesses.
Rosenberg noted that he is not aware of any formal proposals to establish a sales tax on services in the legislature, and that he would assume that any action towards a service tax would begin after the 2018 election.
