California Gov. Newsom’s budget could cost businesses billions in higher taxes
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal to address the state’s billion deficit does not include higher taxes on workers or businesses. Newsom’s plan includes indirect tax increases on businesses that could cost up to billion over the next four years, including banning businesses with annual revenue over million from deducting net operating losses and limiting business tax credits. Newsom also aims to reverse a ruling that could result in .3 billion in refunds for companies, nullifying the decision and applying it retroactively and prospectively. The proposal is part of Newsom’s efforts to address the state’s budget shortfall, which also includes deep spending cuts affecting immigration, education, and child care.
