The Missouri House sent a bill repealing the corporate income tax to the Senate. The bill would gradually reduce the tax rate from 4% to 0% by 2028. The bill passed on a party-line vote, with Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed. The bill is estimated to reduce state revenues by at least 4 million when fully implemented. Last year, a similar bill to cut the corporate tax rate in half was not approved by the Senate. The state currently has a surplus of .4 billion but revenues are lagging behind. The bill also bars corporations from claiming state tax credits against corporate tax liability once the rate is reduced to zero.
