Massachusetts State tax for this year will be 8 000 000 dollars, down 1 750 000 from last year. It marks the lowest tax declared by the Commonwealth since 1913 and represents the greatest reduction in a state tax in the city’s history.
Boston’s share of the state tax drops to 2 548 240, nearly 659 510 less than last year when Boston paid 8 207 750. The decline follows a rise from 5 500 000 in 1911 to 9 750 000 last year, aided by an inheritance law windfall and an undercounted 1915 income.
