Taxing Laws Bring Big Changes For Connecticut Tax Office
The General Assembly provisions shift estate taxation from the treasurer to the tax commissioner. Estates over 509 dollars require inventories for the tax office, while smaller estates need only certified amounts. A new miscellaneous corporations tax will simplify computations, with about 7000 reports expected from numerous entities. The expansion includes town treasurers and several public service bodies, plus added clerical funding and office space to handle the flood of paperwork.
