Baker - Polito team at work:
The New Hampshire Department of Justice announced it will review the the taxing methods of states like Massachusetts during the coronavirus pandemic.
The move was prompted by an emergency action taken by Massachusetts on July 21 that requires residents in other states who were working in Massachusetts before the pandemic to be subject to Massachusetts’ income tax while they work from home.
Normally, income tax is based off of the location a person works. During the pandemic, many New Hampshire residents, who normally commute to Massachusetts for work, are working from home, meaning their location of occupation is in a state that doesn’t collect income tax.
“We need to maintain that New Hampshire advantage at all costs,” New Hamshire Gov. Chris Sununu said in a statement. “We will take immediate steps to stop any attempts to impose income taxes on Granite Staters in a manner that violates the law or the New Hampshire or United States Constitution.”
I am hoping NH prevails on this issue.
