Gov. Baker: Shut down this corporate tax heist
Massachusetts Fair Share
Massachusetts could save $79 million per year by closing a loophole which allows huge, multinational corporations to dodge taxes with offshore tax havens in places like the Cayman Islands.
Please back immediate action to close these loopholes.
Please back immediate action to close these loopholes.
Why is this important?
Tax loopholes allow corporations to dodge taxes by hiding profits overseas -- some companies pay $0 in taxes.
How is Massachusetts supposed to improve the T, invest in early education and job growth when we allow large companies to game the system?
It’s about time that these corporations start living by the same rules as the rest of us. It’s time to close these loopholes and invest in an economy that works for everyone. We're calling on Governor-Elect Charlie Baker to support a simple common-sense reform that would make taxes more fair here in Massachusetts.
Montana and Oregon recently enacted laws to recoup money stashed in offshore tax havens, by closing the "Waters Edge Loophole." If we enacted the same policy here in Massachusetts, it would generate $79 million.
While he was running for office, Gov-Elect Baker said he supports making the tax code "fairer and removing corporate tax loopholes." We've got the perfect place for him to start, but we know the corporations that benefit from this tax heist will resist us every step of the way. That's why need to show Gov.-Elect Baker Bay State residents are behind us.
