“I am grateful to Speaker Mariano, Senate President Spilka, Chair Michlewitz, Senator Rodrigues and the conference committee for their work to finalize tax relief legislation for Massachusetts. In January, the Chamber and MassCPAs partnered to present tax reform recommendations to legislative leaders, and our conversations contributed to tax reform changes that will make it easier for people to start, stay, and succeed in Massachusetts. While our work will continue, we are pleased to see many of our policy recommendations and strategies in this tax relief package. This legislation demonstrates that the Legislature prioritizes our state’s workers, employers, and economic competitiveness. As we continue to advance our competitive edge, tax relief and a strong business climate will help ensure that the Commonwealth attracts and retains residents and businesses, especially as other states actively pursue our talent and companies,” said James E. Rooney, President & CEO, Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
