About this market

Market context

International Tax in Massachusetts involves advising businesses and individuals on the state tax implications of cross-border transactions, foreign investments, and global operational structures. This includes navigating the interaction between federal international tax provisions (such as GILTI, FDII, and Subpart F) and the Massachusetts corporate excise tax.

Massachusetts levies a corporate excise tax, which includes an income measure (8.0%) and a non-income measure (0.26% of tangible property not subject to local tax or net worth apportioned to MA). For corporations with international activities, the state applies apportionment rules to determine the portion of income taxable in Massachusetts, considering sales, property, and payroll factors. Federal international tax provisions significantly influence the state taxable income base for multinational entities operating within Massachusetts.
