What happened
The Department of Revenue offered feedback on Senate Bill 6346, noting that the proposed income tax could invite legal challenges and present enforcement complications. The feedback, sent by James Samans of the DOR to sponsor Jamie Pedersen on January 23, stated concerns over the bill’s complexity and potential for unforeseen applications. These applications could give rise to administrative or legal issues.

Why it matters
The bill, which imposes a 9.9% tax on annual income of $1 million or more, is already facing a lawsuit alleging it violates the state Constitution regarding uniform property taxes. Tax experts also warned that the total tax percentage could be higher due to the state’s capital gains excise tax.
