About this market

Market context

State and Local Tax (SALT) focuses on the tax laws and regulations imposed by U.S. states and municipalities. This includes income tax, sales and use tax, property tax, and other miscellaneous state and local levies, crucial for businesses operating across state lines or within Boston.

Massachusetts imposes a 5.0% sales tax on tangible personal property and certain services, and a 6.25% state income tax for most income types, with a higher rate for short-term capital gains. Boston itself imposes property taxes and other local fees. Compliance involves navigating the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) regulations and various city-specific ordinances.
