Today, the Show-Me Institute released a new essay, “Cutting the Ties That Bind: End Missouri’s Corporate Income Tax,” which yours truly and my colleague Patrick Ishmael wrote. The paper proposes eliminating the state’s corporate income tax and capping or eliminating economic development tax credits in order to ensure no losses to state revenue. This will help Missouri be more attractive to businesses because it will get rid of a destructive tax without forcing cuts to services. Give it a look.
