CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 574 - Currently, the top rate of tax on personal income is being reduced over a period of years. Each year that a general revenue growth trigger is met, the top rate will be reduced by 0.1%. The top rate will continue to be reduced until the it is lowered from 6% to 5.5%. This act increases the amount in which the top rate will be reduced. Each year the trigger is met, the top rate will be reduced by 0.2%. The top rate will continue to be reduced until it is lowered to 5%.
Currently, a business income deduction is being phased in over a period of years. Each year that a general revenue growth trigger is met, the deduction amount is increased by 5%. Once fully phased in, individual taxpayers may deduct up to 25% of their business income. This act increases the amount that may be deducted. Each year that the trigger is met, the deduction amount will be increased by 10%. Once fully phased in, individual taxpayers may deduct up to 50% of their business income.
This act is identical to SB 4 (2015).
