Key business issues are moving quickly at the Capitol

It’s been another busy week, particularly at the Capitol, where several important bills are moving quickly. I want to mention two bills today that have significant impacts on Minnesota employers and, of course, Minnesota Chamber members.
One of the Chamber’s top priorities this session is reinstating Minnesota’s Pass-Through Entity tax, commonly known as the PTE tax at the Capitol. The proposal was heard in both the House and Senate this week. The PTE tax is a win-win policy that provides federal tax relief to more than 66,000 Minnesota businesses, primarily small to medium-sized companies, without costing the state any revenue. More than 30 states already offer a PTE tax, and without action, Minnesota risks falling further behind other states when competing for business investment.
